Many insurance plans cover dental crowns when deemed necessary and not placed for cosmetic reasons. However, dental insurance has a yearly cap (allowable amount), which is easy to deplete. So, it’s important to check with your provider. Of course, a member of our dental team can help.
What Is a Dental Crown and Why Do I Need One?
A dental crown is more robust than a dental filling and provides greater protection for an at-risk tooth.
It is a cover that fits over a treated tooth, stopping at the gumline. It is shaped and shaded to match neighboring teeth.
Your Columbus dentist recommends tooth crowns for the following reasons:
- To protect a vulnerable tooth after a root canal infection or injury
- As a way to lengthen short teeth to level your bite surface
- As a way to connect bridge teeth to healthy teeth
- To cap a dental implant post
Patients sometimes request crowns as part of a full smile makeover or reconstruction because they conceal cosmetic flaws.
If your dental insurance will not cover the cost of your dental crown, talk to us about Cherry financing.
