What most dental insurance plans will do is pay for the least expensive option for replacing missing teeth, which usually\u00a0ends up being something removable &#8211; either a removable full denture or a removable partial denture. These are the most uncomfortable dental restorations.<\/p>\n<p>Another point I&#8217;d like to make is that it appears that\u00a0you&#8217;re looking to buy some insurance on your own to help pay for implants.\u00a0If that is the case, think through what you want. It sounds like you&#8217;re thinking of trying to take advantage of\u00a0the insurance company. You want to pay them a certain amount of money and then get them to pay you more money back in benefits than you paid them in premiums. Good luck trying to talk a for-profit dental insurance company into that business deal.<br \/>\n&#8211; Dr. Hall<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" width=\"728\" bgcolor=\"#A9C5A5\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">We thank our advertisers who help fund this site.<\/font>\n        <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 728;\ngoogle_ad_height = 90;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"728x90_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\";\n\/\/2007-03-26: CosmDent Blog\ngoogle_ad_channel = \"9579159778\";\ngoogle_color_border = \"A9C5A5\";\ngoogle_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_color_link = \"1B703A\";\ngoogle_color_text = \"000000\";\ngoogle_color_url = \"008000\";\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script>\n        <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Hall, I think I am a candidate for dental implants.
