What is a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are often recommended to patients who have suffered from significant dental damage. We can completely cover a given tooth with a personalized crown, restoring its shape as well as its strength. While you may have heard of crowns made out of metal, we prefer to use dental ceramics, which are much more natural-looking.
A crown may be recommended if you have a weak tooth that is in danger of breaking. Additionally, this type of restoration is also useful for repairing teeth that are already fractured or significantly decayed. On top of that, you may need to get a crown if you have recently undergone root canal therapy or if you are replacing one tooth with a dental implant.
The Dental Crown Process
At your initial visit, we’ll confirm that you’re a good candidate for a dental crown. After examining the tooth, we will prepare it by filing away some enamel off its top as well as its sides. We will only remove enough enamel to make room for the final restoration. Once preparations are complete, we will be able to take impressions. You will have to wait until an outside dental laboratory finishes making your crown, so until then, you’ll wear a temporary restoration on the tooth in question.
Eventually, you’ll return to our office so that the final crown can be placed. We’ll make any adjustments that might be needed, and we’ll give you tips for maintaining your new restoration so that you can get as many years of use as possible out of it.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Crown
Having a dental crown placed now can save you a lot of trouble down the line. The restoration provides the tooth with protection to prevent existing damage from growing worse, making it less likely that you will need additional procedures later on. In terms of aesthetics, we can give you a crown that matches the appearance of your smile so that you don’t have to worry about people noticing your dental work.
Dental crowns are known for their durability. If you take good care of your restoration, it can potentially have a lifespan of up to 15 years.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Crowns
When you’re told that you need a dental crown, you’ll naturally want to get an accurate idea of how much you can expect it to cost. Our team will be able to give you a reliable estimate, but only after we’ve taken a close look at your mouth and thoroughly considered your specific dental needs. Below is a closer look at the basics of what you need to know when it comes to the financial side of having a dental crown placed.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Dental Crowns
There are several factors that can ultimately help determine the overall cost of dental crowns:
- Materials: The price tag of a dental crown partially depends on the material that it’s made of. Here at Glynn Dental of Reynoldsburg, we provide ceramic crowns that are notable for their ability to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
- Number of Teeth: If there’s more than one tooth in need of repair, you may need to make room in your budget for multiple dental crowns.
- Additional Services: In addition to the cost of the dental crown itself, you may also need to consider the cost of any related services. For example, you might be having a crown placed as part of a root canal treatment.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Crowns?
As long as a crown is being placed for oral health reasons, there’s a good chance that your dental insurance will cover it to some extent. Many insurance companies are willing to pay around 50% of the cost of the dental crown process. Of course, this is assuming that you have met your deductible for the year and have yet to exceed your annual maximum. Before you start the process, you should double-check your insurance benefits to make sure that you fully understand how your coverage works.
Our practice is currently in-network with Delta Dental, but we are also willing to accept a wide variety of out-of-network insurance plans. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have about your coverage, and we will handle the process of filing the necessary claims for you.
Options for Making Dental Crowns Affordable
If you don’t have dental insurance, there are still steps you can take to make dental crown placement more budget-friendly. Our team can help you apply for a low-to-no-interest CareCredit financing plan that lets you break up the cost of your care into installments. There are several payment plans available, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your situation. Feel free to talk to our team if you’re interested in learning more about CareCredit financing and whether it’s the right choice for you.
