Dental implant cost in Arkansas

What a dental implant costs in Arkansas is something you can plan for. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis reports service prices across the state about 5% below the US average. The Arkansas Medicaid Dental Program caps the limited adult benefit at $500 a year. Adults pay only when services go past $500 or aren't covered. Adult dental dollars you don't use don't carry over to the next year. Evaluations and x-rays are covered, as are fluoride, sealants and crowns, though limits differ by the Medicaid program you're in. Ask your plan about implants and dentures: the official pages we reviewed list no implants and don't say whether dentures are covered.

Another place to look for care is a dental school clinic. Lyon College's School of Dental Medicine includes the Patient Care Clinic, which says it places implants. On those patient pages, implant therapy appears alongside dentures, partials, porcelain crowns, bridges, exams, fillings, extractions, and root canals. You can also call the Oral Health Clinic at the UAMS General Practice Dental Residency, a Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation clinic. At that clinic, residents handle common oral health problems and give patients preventive care along with corrective restoration. Implant care isn't confirmed on their pages, so call them and ask directly. Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners lets you check a dentist's license online ahead of scheduling surgery.
