Frequently Asked Questions about paying for your dental crown.
You may have noticed that at Frisco Elm Dental, we are not afraid to explore cost and payment considerations with our valued patients. Dr. Vidya Suri and our team see it as a responsibility to be transparent about costs and empower our patients with options well-suited to their budgets. After all, we appreciate that dental bills are a natural factor when exploring treatment options. But we believe it should never be a barrier to treatment. Our Little Elm, Texas team is pleased to answer your FAQs about paying for a common treatment: crowns.
Does dental insurance cover crowns?
Yes – as long as the crown is deemed “medically necessary.” This is an important distinction because crowns are very versatile. They can be used for cosmetic cases and to restore the strength of a damaged tooth.
How much does insurance cover?
Usually, insurance covers around halfof the total cost of the crown. Of course, the amount covered varies depending on factors such as your insurer and specific insurance plan.
Can you help me with the insurance process?
Of course! It is our privilege to do so. We work with a wide array of dental insurance providers and are experienced at navigating the often complex claims process. Before your treatment, we can determine your crown’s coverage. That way, there are no costly or unpleasant surprises.
Before and After Actual Patient Results
How do you help with any costs not covered by insurance?
We understand that out-of-pocket expenses can be a significant concern. We have helped to ease those concerns with options such as financing through CareCredit®. For qualified borrowers, CareCredit® helps to stretch the balance cost of treatment over many months or even longer. You may even qualify to finance your treatment at 0% interest.So, you don’t have to worry about the cost of treatment ballooning due to interest charges.
What else should I look for in a crown?
This is such an important question! You would never consider buying a car or a house based on just the cost, right? A low-cost crown may actually cost you more in the long run. It may not hold up well. At Frisco Elm Dental, Dr. Suri takes considerable pride in her craft. She uses exceptional dental materials made from high noble metals. They last and last and do not require ongoing replacement. She is also very fair in her pricing. So, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune to rebuild your broken, decayed, and otherwise damaged tooth.
We look forward to answering your specific questions and addressing your concerns. Simply call our team in Little Elm, TX, today at (214) 705-7100.
