Does Insurance Cover Dental Crowns?

In this video, Dr. Lilian Jaime explains why crown coverage varies so widely and what determines how much insurance may contribute.

When you come in for your treatment plan, we provide clear, step-by-step information, including your treatment options, estimated costs, and what your insurance is expected to contribute. Once you have all the details, you can decide whether to move forward with treatment.
