Affordable Dental Crown Treatment No Matter What Your Budget

Jewel Dental Associates, serving patients throughout Flushing, Queens, and the greater New York City region, gives you several options to reduce your out-of-pocket treatment expenses.

Will Insurance Cover My Dental Crown?

Dental crown treatment falls into two main categories, cosmetic and restorative dentistry. In general, restorative dentistry is covered by insurance, and cosmetic dentistry is not. The reason for your dental crown determines the categorization.

Restorative Purposes Include:

Repairing fractures, breaks, and other damage that has weakened the tooth structure
Restoring a tooth after a root canal infection, cavity, or decay
Replacing a weak filling or an older crown

Cosmetic Purposes Include:

Repairing superficial cracks or chips that do not comprise the health of your tooth.
Correcting stains and deep discoloration
Supplementing the size of a proportionally small or short tooth

What About Implant-Supported Crowns?

If you are missing a tooth or need an extraction, our dentists may recommend dental implant treatment. Dental implants are placed within the jawbone to restore the underlying roots and create a stable foundation for a prosthetic tooth.

While insurance doesn't normally pay for dental implants, your implant-supported crown may be covered. During your consultation at our Flushing practice, we can look into your plan and find out what your benefits include.

Factors That Influence Your Total Treatment Cost

The price of a dental crown at Jewel Dental Associates is about $1,200. However, there are other factors that influence the final cost of treatment not included in that figure.

Materials

Crowns can be made from a variety of materials that range in price. Depending on your needs, you may want to select a more premium material that can improve the strength or aesthetics of your restoration.

Sedation

Dental care can be difficult for some patients who suffer from anxiety or low pain tolerance. If you have trouble sitting still for procedures, sedation can be incredibly beneficial. Dental sedation will add to your total costs but can ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.

Additional Procedures

In some cases, our dentists will need to perform additional procedures to restore your oral health before placing a crown. Root canals, periodontal therapy, and other preliminary procedures are often covered by insurance the same as your dental crown but may increase your total out-of-pocket expenses.
