The cost of your dental implant in Virginia starts with eligibility for the state dental plan, which serves adults and children. That state dental plan goes by the name Cardinal Care Smiles. It is the Medicaid and FAMIS dental program, managed by a benefits company called DentaQuest. More dental services are now available to Medicaid members. However, the plan lists no adult dental category, yearly dollar cap, or rules for dentures. Because implants don't appear among covered services, you should ask the plan about them. For cash care, the state price level for services is 100.2, set by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. Local prices are about 0.2% higher than the US average of 100.
For lower-cost dental care, teaching clinics are a good place to check. You can contact the VCU School of Dentistry. Full oral health care comes from the school pairing its teaching mission with the nation's top dentists' skill. Call and ask whether they place implants, since the clinic hasn't confirmed that care. We also suggest that you spend a moment checking your dentist's state license before surgery. The Virginia Board of Dentistry lets anyone check a dentist's license online. Their free online license lookup tool takes just a moment to use.
