Dental Bone Graft in Massachusetts: What to Know
In Massachusetts, dental bone grafts, while not covered for implants by MassHealth, may be covered as a medical service with prior authorization. You can explore reduced fees at dental school clinics like Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, which offers services up to 50% less than private practices. Community Health Centers across the state, such as Joseph M. Smith in Allston, also provide dental care and may offer bone grafting on sliding-fee schedules.
