Cosmetic vs. Restorative Repair
Insurance plans will often cover part of the cost of a dental crown if it's considered a medically necessary restorative treatment. Here's how to tell if your dental crown will be covered:
Cosmetic Procedure
Cosmetic procedures involving dental crowns work to improve the aesthetics of your smile, but not the function. This can mean whitening discoloration and deep stains, fixing the size or shape of your tooth, or repairing minor cracks or chips. Cosmetic dental procedures are rarely covered by insurance. Our dentists can help you confirm if your treatment is cosmetic or not.
Restorative Treatment
Aesthetic improvement may be a positive side effect of dental crown treatment, but it isn't the goal. Restorative dental treatment is focused on improving the function of your teeth. Restorative treatments involve restoring the tooth after a root canal infection, cavity, or decay. It can also involve restoring structural damage to the tooth, like cracks or breaks that affect function. Also, replacing an old crown can be considered a restorative treatment.
