Mini Dental Implants in Louisiana: What to Know
Mini dental implants are a popular solution for stabilizing dentures across Louisiana, with options available in cities like New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Covington. Typically, four implants secure a lower denture, while six are used for an upper. While Louisiana Medicaid doesn't cover implants under its standard adult plan, some Medicaid plans offer limited assistance. For instance, Aetna Better Health of Louisiana provides up to $600 annually for restorative services, including implants, and Humana Healthy Horizons offers a $500 annual allowance for similar dental care.
For potentially reduced costs, consider seeking treatment at the LSUHSC School of Dentistry, which offers dental care at lower rates than private practices. Additionally, some Louisiana dental offices, such as Connell Family Dentistry, provide financing options like Lending Club and CareCredit® to make mini implants more accessible.
