Gold Dental provides dental crowns for patients in Petersburg, VA who have cracked, broken, severely decayed, or weakened teeth. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits completely over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are one of the most effective ways to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
We use tooth-colored crowns that match the shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from surrounding teeth. Dental crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment to protect the restored tooth, to cover a tooth with a very large filling, to protect a cracked tooth from splitting further, or to anchor a dental bridge in place.
The crown process typically takes two visits to our Petersburg office. At the first visit, the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken, and a temporary crown is placed. At the second visit, the custom-fabricated permanent crown is cemented into place. We make sure your crown fits comfortably and matches your bite before you leave.
Cardinal Care Smiles includes qualifying crowns. For adults, cast or lab-fabricated crowns require a history of root canal treatment, DentaQuest prior authorization, and satisfaction of tooth-restorability, gum-health, and other clinical criteria. A prior root canal need not have been paid for by Medicaid if it is in good standing. Children's criteria differ and may involve payment review rather than prior authorization. Ask about the specific crown code and required documentation before treatment; a damaged tooth alone does not guarantee coverage.
Gold Dental provides qualifying Medicaid and Medicare Advantage crown services. Medicare Advantage coverage varies by plan.
