PPO Dental Implants in Diamond Bar: Does Insurance Cover Them?

The practice accepts all PPO insurance. That is the part we can state plainly.

What we can't say for you is whether your PPO covers implant treatment. Many dental plans treat implants differently from fillings or cleanings. The only way to know is to read your plan details or ask your insurer.

Implants are placed by Dr. Cho or Dr. Jeon. You can read about them on our doctors page.

Before your visit, it helps to call the number on your insurance card. Plans often differ on these points, so ask:

• Are dental implants a covered service on my plan?
• Is the crown or other tooth on top of the implant covered separately?
• Is a bone graft covered if I need one?
• Is there a waiting period, a yearly maximum, or a limit on how often a tooth can be replaced?
• Does the plan need pre-approval before treatment?

Write down the answers and bring them to your consultation. That makes it much easier to talk through your options.

Even with the same insurance, two patients can pay very different amounts. The main reasons:

• How many implants you need. The dentist plans the number of implants carefully, together with the type of tooth replacement that goes on top.
• Whether you need a bone graft. If there isn't enough jawbone, a graft is often done first. It is a separate step. See bone grafting.
• The kind of treatment. A single tooth, several teeth and a full row of teeth (All-on-4) are different plans.

Start with an exam. New patients can book the $99 new patient special. It includes a comprehensive exam, panoramic X-rays, an iTero intraoral scan, an oral cancer screening and a consultation. The offer's terms say it can't be combined with other offers, and we haven't confirmed whether it applies to implant planning.

At the visit, the dentist checks how much bone you have. That decides whether a graft is needed and what treatment fits you. Bring what your insurer told you. A consultation is where the plan and the cost estimate are discussed for your case.
