Dental implant cost in Oregon

In Oregon, your dental implant cost tracks local prices. Those prices, for services like dental care, sit about 0.3% over the US average. The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) provides full dental benefits to members of all ages, including adults on Medicaid. Adult dental care is included, dentures are covered, and no yearly dollar cap for adults is stated. Implants, however, don't appear among the covered services. The benefit rules we reviewed from the official source do not list implants, and you should ask the plan about them, before scheduling care. If you're covered by both, private dental insurance gets billed first, because OHP pays last.

You can still apply for Oregon's dental-only programs if you live in Oregon and don't qualify for full OHP coverage. Dental care under COFA Dental and Veteran Dental matches what OHP Plus offers, and some dentures are included. For pregnant members, extra dental benefits stop 12 months following the end of the pregnancy. For lower-cost care outside Medicaid, you can reach out to the OHSU School of Dentistry (OHSU Dental Clinics). For many people who've lost a tooth, the school clinic places dental implants as one treatment option. Before surgery, you can check your dentist's license with the Oregon Board of Dentistry online lookup.
