no, secondary insurnace can only cover what primay cannot cover, but not exceed primary. Google "coordination of benefit". complicated stuff. I did two teeth implants, cost me $4000 out of pockets. may be more if you have to do other sugueies like sinus lifting.
Thanks a lot for the information. Is there a lot of following-ups for implant? I want to go back to China next year. But can only stay for about 2 -3 weeks. Not sure if it is realistic to do it in China.

it depends~ if your gum's bone is enough to support the implanted root, the schedule will be: day 1: x-ray, and implant a root day 7: remove the stitches and make mould for your crown day 14: the crown is ready to put on the top of the root, and done~ but in some cases, gum's bone is NOT enough to support the implanted root, you have to have some dentist bone implanted (one package cost around RMB 700-800, need 1-3 packs, it depends..), or use the bone taken from yours when the gum is drilled t

Thank you so much for the information. Sounds doable to me. Will definitely consider this. Even with the air ticket, this is much cheaper than having the implant here.
