Are Implant Supported Dentures Covered by Insurance?

One thing to keep in mind is that the full mouth dental implant process takes place over several months, and even up to one year, which means certain necessary procedures can be performed towards the end of the year, and other parts can be performed the next year, once your benefits have rolled over.
