Dental costs in Nevada: implants, crowns, braces and more
Nevada's Medicaid schedule lists both teenage and adult orthodontics, so braces can be priced for either: $6,506 for a teenager before insurance.

Comprehensive braces are estimated at $6,506 for a teenager and $6,792 for an adult in Nevada, a porcelain crown at $1,573, a full set of dentures at $4,290 and a porcelain veneer at $715, in September 2026 dollars before any plan. The base is the Nevada Medicaid reimbursement schedule for dentists, one rate per code for all ages, every rate read here dated from January 1, 2024, the last comprehensive review, and unchanged since. The ADA's 2024 study classed Nevada's adult dental benefit as emergency care only and gave the state a ratio for children: Medicaid paid 34.2 % of what Nevada dentists charge for children's care, against 39.2 % nationally. That ratio is used for every procedure, adult ones included.
One rate review, still in force
The Nevada Medicaid schedule for dentists states the date from which each rate applies, and every code this site reads begins on January 1, 2024. The edition of July 2026 is therefore also the schedule of July 2024, the month up to which the ADA collected Medicaid fees, and the estimate and today's Medicaid fee start from the same amounts. The schedule also says that codes listed at zero are paid at a share of the dentist's usual charges; none of the codes priced here is in that case.
One common code is missing from the file: the periodic exam, D0120. Without it a routine checkup cannot be priced, and the Nevada price list has no checkup line. A new patient exam and cleanings are listed, so the cleaning page uses other states for the visit as a whole.
A Nevada procedure, with or without a plan
You pay for braces or aligners, adult in Nevada
$6,792
| Estimated dentist charge (full fee) | $6,792 |
| Estimated in-network price | $3,600 |
| Nevada Medicaid fee, same codes (2024) | $2,045 |
Braces at two ages
Nevada lists code D8080 for adolescents and D8090 for adults, at $1,959 and $2,045. Divided by the children's ratio, the only one the ADA gives for Nevada, and carried to September 2026, they become $6,506 and $6,792. Clear aligners are billed under the same comprehensive codes, which is why the aligner page quotes these figures rather than a brand price. Many plans exclude adult orthodontics, the Covered California example among them; spread over 24 months with a personal loan at the Federal Reserve's average rate of 11.90 %, the adult figure would cost $319 a month.
Veneers and fillings
Nevada also lists the porcelain veneer, D2962, which most schedules leave out because it is cosmetic: $715 a tooth here, a price plans rarely share. A two-surface filling on a back tooth comes to $193. Most Nevada Medicaid members receive dental care through a dental benefits administrator; the schedule used here is the fee-for-service one.
