Dental implants in Maryland: cash price vs what Medicaid pays
Maryland's fee schedule carries the oldest effective date of the 13 published schedules (2023-08-01) and, like the more recent ones, has no entry for D6010, D6056, D6058 or D6190. Every city figure recorded for Maryland sits at or above $4,000, from Baltimore's $4,000 to Bethesda's $5,000, on a $4,935 state average.
Maryland's official Medicaid dental fee schedule (215 codes, effective 2023-08-01) has no line for D6010, D6056, D6058 or D6190: the program does not price implant placement, the abutment or the implant crown at all.
Adult Medicaid dental in Maryland (extensive adult dental benefit): Maryland Medicaid covers a broad set of adult dental services (exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions and usually dentures), but dental implants are generally not a covered benefit; a few programs approve them only when medically necessary with prior authorization. Verify the current covered-services list and any annual cap with the state Medicaid office.
Tracked city averages, single implant: Baltimore $4,000 / Silver Spring $4,500 / Rockville $4,600 / Bethesda $5,000.
