CGHS Rates for Dental Implants: Are They Covered?
What Is CGHS?
​
CGHS stands for Central Government Health Scheme. It is a health insurance scheme that provides medical facilities and financial assistance to central government employees, retirees, and their families. The scheme offers treatment at empaneled hospitals and clinics, including dental care, at subsidized rates. The treatment costs are often covered based on a prescribed rate list, like the one Agrasen Dental Wellness Center uses for dental services.
Are Dental Implants Covered Under CGHS?
​
No, dental implants are not covered under CGHS. The Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) includes dental treatments such as extractions, fillings, root canals, and dentures in its approved list. However, dental implants are considered elective or cosmetic procedures and are not eligible for reimbursement under CGHS.

FAQ on Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, typically titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth (crowns, bridges, or dentures).
Why might I need a dental implant?
Dental implants are a great option if you have missing teeth due to injury, decay, or disease. They offer a durable and natural-looking solution to restore your smile, enhance chewing ability, and prevent bone loss.
Are dental implants painful to get?
During the implant procedure, local anesthesia is used to ensure you're comfortable and don't feel pain. After the surgery, mild discomfort can be managed with prescribed medication. Most patients report minimal pain during and after the implant placement.
How long does the dental implant procedure take?
The entire dental implant process can take several months. It involves the initial consultation, implant placement surgery, healing and osseointegration (fusion of the implant with the bone), and finally, attaching the replacement tooth. The duration varies based on individual cases.
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Dental implants are a suitable option for most adults with good oral and overall health. Factors such as bone density, gum health, and medical history will be considered during the evaluation to determine your eligibility for dental implants.
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants require regular oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Treat them like natural teeth to ensure their longevity. Avoid excessive pressure on the implants and maintain a healthy diet for optimal oral health.
How successful are dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically exceeding 95%. Success depends on proper oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and overall health. Following post-operative care instructions and a healthy lifestyle enhance the longevity and success of your dental implants.
Are dental implants expensive?
Dental implants are an investment in your oral health and quality of life. While they may have a higher initial cost compared to other options, their durability and long-term benefits often make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes, dental implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat a variety of foods without restrictions. You can enjoy your favorite foods and maintain a balanced diet for optimal health.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle play key roles in maximizing the longevity of your dental implants.

"Dr. Rahul is an amazing dentist. Me and my wife always visit Dr. Rahul for our annual dental check-up whenever I visit India from Canada because he provides the best medical opinion from all the other dentists that I have visited earlier. I got my all of my cavities filled without any pain and with minimum visits at a very affordable price. You should definitely visit him for all your dental needs."
