The answer really depends on the insurance policy and any terms and conditions that go with it. 

In general dental insurance does not cover dental implants, but may cover the cost of the crown.

Some insurance products will cover dental implants if a tooth is lost through trauma such as an accident.  However sporing injuries are generally not covered unless you’re wearing an appropriately made and constructed mouthguard.

The key is to carefully read any policy wording.

It’s certainly a possibility that you may be suitable for implants even if you are already wearing a denture.  It’s quite common for people to want to replace dentures with dental implants. 

The main factor will be the amount of bone that is available for placing the implants, this will be assessed during consultations and treatment planning and is ususally done by taking an x-ray and possibly a CT-Scan.

The denture can be replaced with fixed bridgework supported on implants or you may wish to explore an implant retained denture which can give loose dentures more stability.

I hope that this helps answer your question.

Many implant manufacturers have more than one implant system which are made up of multiple components.

3i is not a system that we currently use in practice, but your dentist who placed the implants should be able to find a solution for you.
