Not everything in this article is specifically for You <--- It is so when i mention a concept you are familiar.

Like many dental plans, there are specific guidelines around dental implants.
Implants and Implant supported prosthesis covered under certain Dental Insurance plans are limited to;
the replacement of permanent teeth extracted while insured under this plan,
the replacement of a prior Implant if it has been at least seven years since the prior insertion, and is not and cannot be made serviceable.
Implants will be covered under Procedure Class C subject to
the Plan Year Benefit Maximum, and
Percentage of Covered Services, and
Deductible as shown in the Schedule of Benefits
