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.
