Is dental crowns covered by CDCP or insurance in Nova Scotia?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) may cover some crowns for eligible residents, and preauthorization is typically required. A co-payment may apply depending on family income. Confirm with the clinic before treatment.

Does getting a crown hurt?

Crown preparation is done with local anesthetic, so most patients feel pressure and vibration rather than pain. The tooth and gum can be sensitive for a few days afterward. Sensitivity that lasts more than a couple of weeks should be checked by your dentist.

How long does it take to get a crown?

Traditional crowns require two visits over 2-3 weeks. Same-day CEREC crowns are completed in one 2-hour appointment using computer-aided manufacturing.
