Are Crowns Covered by Insurance ?
Yes, The Smile Mission does accept most major dental insurance plans, and crowns are commonly covered—especially when they are medically necessary.
When Are Dental Crowns Covered by Insurance?
Most insurance companies cover dental crowns when they’re not cosmetic, such as:
-
Repairing a cracked or weakened tooth
-
Rebuilding a severely decayed tooth
-
Restoring a tooth after a root canal
-
Supporting a dental bridge
-
Covering a dental implant
In these cases, your insurance typically covers 40–80% of the cost, depending on your specific plan, after the deductible is met and within your annual maximum limit.
However, cosmetic crowns—used for purely aesthetic improvements—are not usually covered.
