Suggest Treatment For Dents In Teeth

hi my name is madhu.

My father is having problem with teeths.



I consulted a dentist. They said 20 caps(steel teeths) needed to fill the missedout places.

I want to know the treatment expenditures and will it be covered under company medi claim policies?

Hello,
Dental insurance coverage is usually seperate than medical plan insurance. Your dentist's office should be able to give you an estimate on cost and tell you the amount expected to be covered by insurance. Some companies provide a predetermination estimate. You should understand all procedures and costs before the work is started. You are responsible for costs regardless of the insurance.
These teeth are in a weakened condition if caps are needed to restore missing tooth structure. Left untreated, there will be a risk of increased decay and infection. Ask for a copy of the X-rays, if you want to consider a second opinion with a different dentist.
Thank you for your inquiry.

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The cost of a single metal or stainless steel crown is around 1,500 to 3000. So it might be around 30000-45000 for 20 crowns.
It will not be covered under insurance. Upto 4,500 can be covered under insurance or u can claim for it.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
