Extras cover
Yes, you can get health insurance for dental implants with some extras policies. You'll often find it included under "major dental" and more specifically periodontics (the treatment of diseases around gums and teeth structure).
If your policy covers periodontics and doesn't specifically exclude implants, you may be covered. You'll have to check with your insurer to be certain, and be ready to pay some out-of-pocket expenses because your benefit almost certainly won't cover the whole amount.
Remember that even if your policy does cover dental implants, there is usually a 12-month waiting period before you can submit a claim for major dental.
Hospital cover
Some policies will cover dental implants as part of their hospital cover, but this would require that you are admitted to a hospital as an inpatient.
Most implants are done in an outpatient setting, so in order to be covered on a policy like this, you would have to have special anesthetic needs or extensive bone grafting. In-hospital dental work falls under the Dental surgery clinical category. That is a minimum inclusion on Silver and Gold hospital policies – Basic and Bronze policies cover it only if your insurer has chosen to add it, which is usually badged as Basic Plus or Bronze Plus. Check the clinical categories listed on your policy before you book.
