Coverage for dental crowns in the Burnaby area varies depending on your specific dental plan. Notably, eligible residents may receive coverage through the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). This government program applies to those without other dental insurance who meet specific income requirements:
- Full (100%) coverage is available for those with an adjusted family net income under $70,000.
- Partial coverage is provided for those with a family net income between $70,000 and $89,999.
For the CDCP, dental crowns typically require preauthorization as part of the phased rollout. Since individual private insurance plans and factors such as materials used for the crown can influence costs, it is recommended to contact the clinic directly for personalized guidance and to verify your specific eligibility. Diamond Dental Centre offers consultations to help patients navigate these costs and explore available coverage options.
