WHEN A MEDICAL REVIEW MAY MAKE SENSE

Tooth loss with a medical connection.

Medical plans look at why teeth were lost or damaged, not just at the dental work needed. A review may be appropriate when the cause is linked to a documented medical circumstance such as the examples here. Every policy is different, and benefits are never guaranteed.

Medical conditionsDiabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune conditions, and other documented diagnoses that affect the teeth, gums, or jaw.
MedicationsLong-term medications known to cause dry mouth, bone changes, or tooth damage.
Cancer treatmentRadiation or chemotherapy that affected the mouth, jaw, or ability to keep natural teeth.
Accident or injuryTrauma to the face or jaw resulting in lost or non-restorable teeth.
Congenital conditionsTeeth missing or malformed from birth, including conditions treated in childhood.
Jaw or bone problemsSignificant bone loss or jaw conditions that make conventional dentures unworkable.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Helpful answers before you begin.

Still unsure about something? Call our team and we will be happy to help.

972-306-3282

Does medical insurance always cover dental implants?

No. Coverage depends on the individual policy, exclusions, network rules, documentation, and whether the plan’s medical-necessity requirements are met.

Can I request a review with an HMO or EPO?

Yes. PPO, HMO, EPO, and unknown plan types may all request a review. The plan type alone does not determine the outcome.

What happens after I send the form?

A member of our team contacts you by phone or email to talk through your situation and explain what information may be relevant. Nothing sensitive is requested through this page.

What if I am nervous about dental treatment?

Sedation may be available for patients who feel apprehensive about treatment. Dr. Shin can discuss whether it is appropriate for you.
