HealthPartners Dental Implant Benefit

HealthPartners Dental Implant Benefit Our overall goal at HealthPartners is to improve the dental health of our members by providing you with convenient care through great dental networks. To help you maintain and improve your dental health, here’s a great benefit we offer:

• Your dental implant benefit includes coverage of prosthetics for implants as well as the surgical portion of treatment.

Dental Implants We realize that in some instances dental implants are the best option for you. • While a bridge to replace a missing tooth fills the Looking out for your health empty space left behind, it requires the two healthy teeth on each side of the missing tooth to serve as supporting posts for the bridge. These two support teeth now face an increased risk of future problems such as root canals, decay or extraction. A dental implant to replace that tooth leaves the healthy teeth intact. • Dental implants integrate with the structure of your bone, thus minimizing bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework and dentures. • Implants that are used appropriately and properly maintained can last a lifetime without the periodic replacements or adjustments that may be needed with traditional crowns, bridges and dentures. • You get a boost to your confidence with a beautiful, natural-looking tooth.
