Dental implants in Arizona: cash price vs what Medicaid pays
Arizona posts the lowest dentist Medicaid-acceptance rate (24%) and the highest county-level dental-desert share (8 of 15 counties, 53%), yet its 455-code fee schedule (effective 2025-10-01), one of the largest, does not include any of the four implant codes. Cash prices average $4,490, from $3,600 in Tucson to $4,800 in Scottsdale.
