Most basic insurance policies don't cover dental implants. However, most plans do contribute to the cost of restorations (such as dentures) and preparatory procedures such as gum disease treatment and tooth extraction. We accept most major insurance plans, and our knowledgeable staff can help you determine how much your insurance will cover.

Why You Need to Replace Lost Teeth
Missing teeth are not just a cosmetic problem. Tooth roots play an important role in stimulating regenerative bone growth in the jaw to keep it strong. If the jawbone is left to atrophy, you may face more problems:
- Teeth slowly shifting out of position, which causes uneven wear on teeth as your bite changes
- Loose teeth or further tooth loss as the jaw weakens
- Facial features that collapse as the jaw recedes, making you look older

Do You Have Questions?
Don't Have Sufficient Jawbone Density? Let Us Improve Your Candidacy for Implants
If you've been missing teeth for a while, compromised bone density may be an obstacle to getting dental implants. Dr. Perry at River City Dental Solutions in San Antonio, TX, has options that make more people eligible for life-changing dental implants.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure that replaces lost tissue in the jawbone to make you eligible for dental implants. Dr. Perry can use biocompatible grafting material or tissue from another part of your body to create the stable foundation needed for implants. Studies have shown that implants placed in grafted tissue have a similar success rate to implants placed in non-grafted tissue.
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are smaller versions of standard dental implants. However, because mini implants are smaller, they do not require as much bone mass to properly fuse with the jaw. Mini dental implants are less invasive, so there is less recovery time. They also typically cost less than traditional implants. Dr. Perry has performed mini dental implant surgery for hundreds of patients.
Dental Implant FAQ
What are the benefits of implants?
Dental implants improve your oral health, overall health, and quality of life. They allow people with missing teeth to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. When you can eat nutritious meals, your entire body benefits. When you can speak and smile with ease, you can welcome new people and opportunities into your life. Meanwhile, implants are the only solution that can stop the jaw atrophy that follows tooth loss.
How do I take care of dental implants?
Brush your teeth and implant-supported restoration twice a day. Floss your teeth once a day. If you have a bridge or denture, you can use a floss threader to clean under your restoration and around your implants. Be sure to follow a good oral hygiene routine to prolong the life of your implants.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, your implants can last the rest of your life, and your implant-supported restoration can last 5-15 years or longer.
