If your dentist has advised you to get a dental crown, you should not put off the procedure. Waiting too long to get your restoration can cause the underlying problem to worsen, which may result in the loss of your tooth. However, the UIC College of Dentistry reports that 80% of Americans consider delaying dental work because of cost concerns. If you have dental insurance, there’s no reason to worry about large bills. Your benefits will cover some of the costs when getting a dental crown, but time is running out to use your coverage.
