Sorry to hear about this man, all the best, but may I suggest trying a Dental College for treatment? She may be able to get a significant discount on some of these procedures.

I don't know why insurance wouldn't cover implants (in this situation). Do they just argue for dentures instead? Insurance should at least cover the extractions.

For example, they'll cover a gold crown/cap 90% but a white crown/cap only 50% because they consider that cosmetic rather than functional. I have a super expensive mouthpiece that I wear for bruxism and sleep apnea and my insurance covered 80% of it. |

I've had several different providers over the years and was not impressed with any of them. I was squawking about it to a dentist and he agreed. He said the only dental insurance he had seen that was worth a damn, was some kind of military dental insurance. I mean for something like a filling, it's fine, but if it comes down to something like an implant, grab your ankles. |

If you have insurance and go to a provider for that insurance it’s will cover more. Most policies have a max they’ll cover so a root canal and a crown will probably max it out
When it comes to implants, most policies will cover the abutment and crown up to a certain percent but won’t cover the surgical placement. |

In general, the medical plans in your industry provide significantly better coverage than others. I found this out a couple of years ago when I left my company. It was shocking to see what the most ppl were paying tbh.
