Implant Insurance, If You Are 65 or Older?

임플란트 보험, 65세이상이라면?

As you get older, the importance of your teeth

becomes more strongly felt,

and situations where teeth are damaged or lost

occur more frequently.

Due to tooth loss,

food that you used to chew without any problem becomes uncomfortable,

and you naturally start avoiding hard foods.

As that happens, not only the enjoyment of meals,

but even your overall health can be affected.

For this reason, many people consider implants.

But when they actually look into it,

the cost burden often makes them hesitate. (ㅠㅠ)

However, many people do not properly know

the benefits of implant insurance,

and end up missing the opportunity..!

Let’s take a look at

what implant insurance is all about :) 💕

🦷 Implant insurance,

if you are 65 or older? 🦷

If you are 65 or older, you can receive

insurance coverage for implant treatment through National Health Insurance.

However, it does not apply in all cases,

and you must be in a state of

‘partial edentulism,’ where some teeth remain.

In other words, at least one tooth must remain

for you to be eligible for coverage.

Insurance-covered implants are

available for up to 2 teeth in a lifetime,

and once you use them, the number does not reset,

so it is important to decide carefully

which area to apply it to.

🦷 Implant insurance,

how much of the cost do you have to pay? 🦷

The biggest advantage of implant insurance is, of course,

reduced cost burden.

When insurance applies, treatment is possible with

only about 30% of the total cost as your out-of-pocket expense.

There may be slight differences depending on the clinic,

but compared with non-covered implants,

you can receive treatment at a much more realistic cost.

However, if there is insufficient jawbone

and bone grafting is needed,

or if additional treatment is required,

separate costs may occur.

So before treatment,

you should decide on treatment after 충분한 상담.

received only by a small group of people.
