Dental implants in Oregon: cash price vs what Medicaid pays
Oregon's dental-desert footprint stands out: 15 of its 36 counties (42%) carry a HRSA-based desert flag in our dental-deserts atlas, the highest county share among the 16 large states we track, even though its 320-code fee schedule (effective 2026-06-01) does not price any of the four implant codes. Cash prices average $4,725, from $3,600 in Salem to $4,400 in Portland.
Oregon's official Medicaid dental fee schedule (320 codes, effective 2026-06-01) 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 Oregon (extensive adult dental benefit): Oregon 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: Salem $3,600 / Eugene $3,800 / Bend $4,000 / Portland $4,400.
