What are crowns and bridges?
Crowns and bridges are common dental treatments. A crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to protect and strengthen it, allowing the tooth to function properly again and preventing further damage. A bridge is a structure of several crowns used to replace one or more missing teeth.
Insurance cover
It is natural to wonder whether crowns and bridges are covered by insurance. The answer is yes, but the level of cover and the conditions vary by insurer and by treatment. In general, crowns and bridges are only reimbursed when they are medically necessary, for example in cases of severe damage or missing teeth.
It is also worth knowing that a personal contribution is often required for crowns and bridges. The amount varies by insurer and can run into hundreds of euros. It is therefore wise to check your policy conditions carefully in advance, or to contact your health insurer, to avoid surprises.
