Step-by-step cost examples for implants, crowns and full-arch work, with insurance, CDCP, financing and tax credit arithmetic shown.
A treatment estimate is easier to judge once you can rebuild it yourself. This section works through realistic, clearly illustrative examples with the arithmetic shown, so you can replace the numbers with those on your own estimate.
The guide to reading a dental treatment estimate is the starting point: it explains procedure codes, fee guide references, lab fees and what a predetermination tells you. From there, work through a single implant from extraction to crown, full-arch implant options, splitting an implant across two benefit years, a crown and root canal estimate, dental financing and payment plans and timing payments for the medical expense tax credit. Before you sign anything, use the implant consultation checklist.
The implant cost estimator, dental plan cost-share calculator and treatment financing calculator do the same arithmetic interactively.
