When Does CDCP Cover a Dental Crown?
CDCP covers dental crowns when they are clinically necessary — not for cosmetic purposes. Common situations where CDCP will cover a crown:
- After a root canal on a back tooth (molar or premolar)
- A tooth with a large cavity where a filling is no longer sufficient
- A severely cracked or fractured tooth
- A tooth with significant wear from grinding (bruxism)
- An existing crown that has broken or failed
For purely cosmetic crown work (e.g., reshaping a healthy tooth), CDCP does not apply — private pay rates above.
The Crown Process at Red Rose Dentistry — 2 Visits
- Consultation + X-ray — Dr. Khakani assesses the tooth and confirms crown is the best option
- Tooth preparation — Under local anesthetic (pain-free), the tooth is shaped to receive the crown. A temporary crown is placed.
- Digital impressions — Precise digital or traditional impressions sent to our dental lab
- Lab fabrication — 7–10 business days for zirconia or porcelain crown
- Final fitting + cementation — Crown checked for fit, bite, and colour; permanently cemented
How Long Does a Dental Crown Last?
- Zirconia crown: 15–25+ years with proper care
- Porcelain-fused-to-zirconia: 10–20 years
- All-porcelain: 10–20 years
- PFM: 10–15 years
To maximize crown life: attend cleanings 2x/year (CDCP free), wear a night guard if you grind, and avoid biting ice or very hard foods with the crown.
