Dental implant cost in Tennessee

When you compare implant costs in Tennessee, TennCare covers adult dental services that are medically necessary and covered, at no cost. Through Renaissance, a company that oversees dental benefits and claims, this state Medicaid program delivers adult care. Pregnant and postpartum adults receive the same dental benefits that other adults receive. State benefit rules don't list implants, and no benefit category, denture coverage, or yearly dollar cap is stated. Implants are not on the list of covered services, so you should ask the plan what coverage it will provide. If you call member services before your exam, you are less likely to get a surprise bill. We suggest you request that coverage answer in writing.

The US Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that service prices in Tennessee are about 5% below the US average. That lower price level helps you when you pay out of pocket. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry places implants and takes patient calls at 901-448-6930. Students give care with faculty supervision (longer than a private visit, but cheaper). Every clinic at the college takes Tennessee Medicaid, except the Faculty Practice. Any dentist's license can be checked online with the Tennessee Board of Dentistry before surgery. Anyone can use that quick lookup, and it's free.
