What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It is also known as a dental cap.
The crown is often used when a tooth is significantly damaged or weakened due to decay, fractures, large fillings, or other dental issues. A crown can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of a tooth.
Cost and subsidies
The cost depends on various factors. Amount payable by patient = total clinic charges - CHAS subsidies. MediSave typically does not cover general dental treatments, such as dental crowns, unless they involve surgical procedures deemed medically necessary. Non-surgical dental treatments, including routine check-ups and dental crowns, are not eligible for claims under the MediSave.
