They highly suggested that you get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realdentalgp.com\/dental-crowns.html\">dental crown<\/a> to\nprotect it. You never got around to scheduling that procedure because you were\nworried that it would be too expensive. However, not getting a dental crown\nwhen you need one can actually end up costing you <em>more<\/em> money in the long\nrun. Continue reading to learn how getting the crown you need before the end of\n2020 can save you time, money, and painful dental problems in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens If You Don\u2019t Get a Dental Crown When You Need One?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap, usually made of porcelain\nor ceramic, that fits over a tooth to restore its function, structure, and\nappearance. More often than not, your dentist will recommend one when a tooth\nhas sustained serious damage or decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentist has said you should get a dental crown, you should\nget that taken care of as soon as you can. Leaving your tooth unprotected\nexposes it to harmful bacteria that could lead to an infection in the center of\nthe tooth. Not only can this be excruciatingly painful, but it may require more\ncomplex treatments like root canal therapy or a tooth extraction, both of which\ncost more than a dental crown. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Dental Insurance Cover the Cost of Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re getting a dental crown for more than just cosmetic\nreasons, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realdentalgp.com\/dental-insurance.html\">dental\ninsurance<\/a> company will likely consider it a major restorative procedure.\nTherefore, they will typically cover about 50% of the cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that even if you\u2019re responsible for half of the\ncost, getting a dental crown is worth the investment. Paying for a dental crown\nnow will save you so much money and discomfort down the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should I Get My Dental Crown Before 2020 Ends?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any dental treatment, if you need a dental crown, you\nshould get it before the year ends. By now, you have likely met your deductible\nbut not your annual maximum. If your insurance policy resets at the end of the\ncalendar year, any unused money on your annual maximum will expire. Waiting\nuntil 2021 could mean you\u2019ll have to pay more since your deductible will also\nbe reset. If you haven\u2019t reached your annual maximum yet, it\u2019s a good idea to\nget any necessary dental procedures taken care of before the end of 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the time of year, you should never avoid taking\ncare of your smile. If you\u2019re worried about paying for your crown, ask your\ndentist about maximizing your insurance benefits and whether they have any financing\noptions available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;Real Dental, our exceptional team combines the\nlatest technology with a patient-centered approach to care to make each\nappointment fast, comfortable, and productive.
