At Bilski Dental, we frequently get questions about whether dental
crowns can be considered cosmetic procedures. Dental crowns can serve both
functional and cosmetic purposes. Their functional purpose is to repair a
broken or missing tooth, and their cosmetic purpose is to improve the
appearance of discolored or unsightly teeth.

Factors that determine if a dental crown is a cosmetic
procedure:

1.    Patient’s concerns and
desires:
•    If the patient is unhappy with
the appearance of a tooth, a dental crown may be considered cosmetic. The
goal is to boost self-esteem and improve the overall look of the
smile.

2.    Dental evaluation and x-rays:
•    Before placing a dental crown for
cosmetic reasons, a thorough evaluation is conducted. This helps determine if
there are any underlying functional issues that need to be
addressed.

3.    Insurance considerations:
•    Dental insurance may or may not
cover cosmetic procedures, including dental crowns. It is essential to verify
coverage before proceeding with the treatment.

treatments to help you achieve the smile you’ve always
