Thousands of patients give up on a new smile the moment they hear the price of implants.
What most never find out: their treatment may qualify as medically necessary, potentially saving thousands with medical insurance — and we're one of the few offices in Texas with a team that handles this process for you.
What is medical necessity coverage — and is it really possible?
If your teeth cause you pain, or you can no longer chew comfortably, your treatment may qualify as a medical necessity — covered by your medical insurance (not dental), just like a hip replacement or any other major surgery.
Full‑mouth implants get labeled "cosmetic" — dental plans cover very little, and you pay nearly everything yourself.
The same treatment, billed like major surgery — your plan may cover everything beyond your deductible and out‑of‑pocket costs.

To walk out with new teeth
est. Stone OakWhy dental implants? The true permanent solution.
Maybe you've avoided the photos. Avoided the steak. Avoided laughing out loud. You're not alone — and implants are the only solution built to last a lifetime. They replace the root, not just the tooth: preserving bone, restoring chewing, and finishing the job temporary fixes never do.
You may be the perfect candidate if…
- ?Many of your teeth are missing, broken, or failing.
- ?Your dentures fit poorly or hurt.
- ?Chewing food is painful.
- ?You feel anxious about smiling.
- ?Your teeth hold you back socially or professionally.
- ?You worry treatment costs too much to ever afford.

We see patients from across San Antonio — Shavano Park, Alamo Heights, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels, and out of state. If medical insurance can cover your treatment, the drive pays for itself. Here's why people keep making it.

I had an insurance change and so I tried another local dentist that was in network. That drove me right back to the great people at Sonterra. I never feel that this office is adding on things to jack up the price either. Amazing office, great people, and talented dental experts.

I had my first experience with Sonterra Dental. A friend of mine recommended them. I tend to get uptight about visiting dental offices. The whole appointment from start to finish was a positive experience.

The office people are always friendly, helpful and extremely professional. The wait time for service is always short. My hygienist clearly explained each step of the exam and cleaning as it happened. The care and professionalism has been consistent in the two years I have received service.

Frequently asked.
The questions we hear most — answered the way we'd answer in person.
What is medical necessity coverage?
If your teeth cause you pain, or you can't chew comfortably, you may be able to establish medical necessity for implant treatment — and have your medical insurance (not dental) pay for it, like a hip replacement or other major surgery.
How much can be covered?
When implants are proven medically necessary, medical insurance may cover the procedure like any major surgery — leaving you responsible for your deductible and your plan's out-of-pocket costs. Every plan is different, and all plans are subject to benefit verification.
What if I don't qualify for medical coverage?
You still have great options. Cash-pay patients save an additional $1,750 to $4,000, and we partner with Cherry, Proceed Finance, and CareCredit for plans up to 84 months. Our treatment coordinators will walk you through every path during your consultation.
Why does timing matter?
Treatment can take a few months. If your coverage expires or your deductible resets before it's completed, your costs may increase — so it pays to start the evaluation early.
What are the advantages of full-mouth implants over dentures?
Implants look more natural, feel more stable, and last far longer than conventional dentures. Because they replace the tooth root, they also preserve your jawbone — preventing the bone loss dentures cause.
I've been told I'm "not a candidate." Could that change here?
Often, yes. Many patients were turned away elsewhere for bone loss or long-term denture use. Dr. Woods Woolwine handles the rebuild work those cases need in-house — bone grafting, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation. The only way to know is a complimentary 3D CT scan and consult.
