Dental implant cost in Wyoming

For adults, Wyoming Medicaid covers only limited dental care, which affects what you pay for an implant in the state. If you're 21 or older, you get 2 preventive visits each year, which cover cleanings, exams, and x-rays. You're also covered for 2 emergency visits a year and for tooth extractions. Coverage includes repair or reline of dentures you already have, whether full or partial. A reline adds fresh material inside a denture, so it fits snugly against your gums again. The plan doesn't list new dentures, doesn't state a yearly dollar cap, and doesn't list implants. Implants aren't listed as a covered service, so you should ask the plan what your options are.

According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, state service prices run about 0.4% above the US average. For lower-cost care, you can contact the Laramie County Community College Dental Hygiene Clinic. Implant care isn't confirmed there, so you should call and ask which services they provide. A Report of Findings goes to patients whose follow-up services call for fillings, extractions, or other treatment. That report is something you can take to a private dentist and use to discuss the options and costs of treatment. We suggest looking up your dentist's license online at the Wyoming Board of Dental Examiners before surgery is scheduled.
