Dental implants in Michigan: cash price vs what Medicaid pays
Michigan's in-state city spread is proportionally wide relative to its average: Flint's $3,000 sits 30% below the $4,305 state figure, while Ann Arbor's $4,000 sits close to it. Michigan's 175-code fee schedule (effective 2026-03-11) does not price any of the four implant codes, and 47.5% of dentists report accepting Medicaid.
Michigan's official Medicaid dental fee schedule (175 codes, effective 2026-03-11) 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 Michigan (extensive adult dental benefit): Michigan 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: Flint $3,000 / Lansing $3,300 / Grand Rapids $3,500 / Detroit $3,700 / Ann Arbor $4,000.
