Maybe you\u2019re anxious about having one placed, or maybe you\u2019re concerned about how much it will cost. However, putting off this important restoration can cost you significantly more time, money, and hassle in the long run! Read on to find out why dental crowns are a worthwhile and affordable investment in your smile, especially if you\u2019ve met your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgemilldentalcare.com\/dental-insurance.html\">dental insurance<\/a> deductible and still have benefits to use before the end of the year. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Crowns Protect Your Smile from Costly Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentist recommends you get a dental crown, you shouldn\u2019t put it off any longer than you have to. These tooth-shaped caps are designed to fit snugly over a tooth to restore its strength, functionality, and appearance. They also protect the tooth from any further damage or decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer you go without a dental crown that you need, the more you put your weakened or damaged tooth at risk. Remember, weakened or damaged enamel can\u2019t heal itself, so leaving your tooth exposed to pressure, food debris, and bacteria encourages the issue to get worse. You can easily end up with dental infections or irreparably damaged enamel. Not only are these problems painful, but they require complex treatments such as root canal therapy or tooth extractions that are much more costly than a dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Dental Insurance Coverage for Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every dental insurance policy is different. However, if you need a dental crown for a medical reason and not just because you want to improve the appearance of a tooth, then it\u2019s likely your insurance will pay for at least some of it. Most insurance companies cover the cost of \u201cmajor procedures\u201d such as dental crowns up to about 50%. Depending on what materials your dental crown will be made of, this can save you quite a bit of money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repair Your Smile Before the Year Ends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any other dental treatment, if you need a crown, it\u2019s a good idea to get it before the year ends. By the end of the year, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ve met your insurance policy\u2019s deductible, which means your dental insurance company will pay for your treatments with your annual maximum. However, when your policy renews at the beginning of the next year, your deductible will be reset and any unused parts of your annual maximum will expire. If you\u2019ve met your deductible, your annual maximum will cover a portion of your dental crown, while if you wait until next year, you\u2019ll pay for it entirely as part of your deductible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of what time of year it is, you shouldn\u2019t put off caring for your oral health. If you\u2019re hesitating to get the dental care you need because of costs, talk to your dentist about what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bridgemilldentalcare.com\/dental-insurance.html\">dental insurance<\/a> they accept and how to make your treatment as affordable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. James Candon of BridgeMill Dental Care is proud to provide excellent dental care to the smiles of Indian Land and the surrounding communities.
