Whether\nit lost an old restoration, it needs to be fortified after root canal therapy,\nor it has suffered some decay, your dentist may recommend that you receive a metal-free\ndental crown.

This post\ndiscusses how dental insurance typically applies to metal-free dental crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do You Need the Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not your insurance will cover the metal-free crown\nlikely depends on the answer to a pivotal question: Whydo you need it?\nIf your dentist says that the crown is necessary in order to improve or protect\nyour oral health, your insurance will probably cover at least a portion of its\ncost. For example, it is likely to be covered if its purpose is to strengthen a\nroot canal-treated tooth or protect a tooth that suffered some decay. In\ngeneral, insurance covers roughly half of the cost of major dental treatments,\nincluding crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, some individuals receive metal-free\ncrowns for purely cosmetic reasons. They may want to disguise a discolored or\nmisshapen tooth. In such instances, insurance is <em>not <\/em>likely to cover the\ntreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, every insurance company has different policies.\nYou will have to check the specifics of your plan to find out how it applies to\nyour situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Insurance to Pay for Your Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in receiving a metal-free crown, call\nyour dentist\u2019s office to make sure they have your current insurance information\non file. That way, they will be able to verify your coverage prior to your\nappointment. Then, head to the office for a consultation. After your dentist\nexamines your mouth and confirms your candidacy for the crown, the dental team\nwill provide you with an estimate for the total cost of your treatment and your\nout of pocket obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not need to worry about fussing with a bunch of\ninsurance claim paperwork. Most dental offices, including Aveni Dental\nProfessionals, are more than happy to take care of that for patients. Our team\nis even in-network with a number of major insurance providers, which can keep\nyour out of pocket costs as low as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a metal-free crown and would like to use your\ndental insurance to pay for it, it is quite likely that you can do just that!\nThe team at your dentist\u2019s office will help you figure out the details of your\ncoverage so you can enjoy a treatment process that is as easy and stress-free\nas possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Steve Aveni is a dentist with over 40 years of\nexperience.
