Single Tooth Implant in South Dakota: What to Know
Considering a single tooth implant in South Dakota? The average cost is lower than the national average, though this doesn't include the crown or related fees. South Dakota Medicaid for adults does not cover implants and has a $2,000 annual limit for most dental services. However, community health centers like Falls Community Health in Sioux Falls and Community Health Center of the Black Hills in Rapid City offer care on a sliding scale and accept Medicaid. Horizon Health Care also operates eight dental clinics in rural communities, aiming for affordability.
For potentially lower costs, explore options like Black Hills Dentures and Implants in Rapid City, which advertises single implants with select insurance or their membership plan. Additionally, 605 Dental Implants in Sioux Falls provides various financing options. While the University of South Dakota’s dental hygiene clinic offers reduced rates, it doesn't explicitly list implant services. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
