Does medicaid cover a dental bridge/fixed partial denture in this situation?

Question

i've had braces for 2 years under medicaid but i had an impacted tooth and now there is a gap missing. if my orthodontist makes a point that if the gap isn't filled then the teeth will just move back and get crooked again and effect my bite, then will medicaid cover the dental bridge or implant?

Answer 1

You're always more than welcome to try, but I bet they come back and deny it saying that the space can always be filled with a removable partial denture or a flipper.
