Hi all,
I need to get some dental implants, and I do not have insurance. Can anyone point me in the right Direction on what would be the best dental plan to cover as much as possible. Also need some information about Miami dental implants.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think you will be able to get an insurance plan to cover implants; insurance works with groups, to insure "in case" you get ill, where some people may need care this "year" and others don't (the ones who don't use it paying for the others who do) so buying into a plan when you need it, won't work as you don't have many who want to buy dental insurance who don't use it. Unlike health insurance at jobs, it's usually very elective (if offered) so only people who go to the dentist regularly generally buy it whereas there are lots of people who buy regular health insurance but don't need it, just might need it.

But mostly, dental implants are considered "cosmetic" and almost no one sells insurance for that.

My insurance covers implants at 50 percent of cost copay. They maintain jaw bone much better than dentures, preventing loss of other teeth.

Dentists make most specialties seem like chump change. Even good dental insurance(an oxymoron) can sink anyone into debt. So, floss like mad.
