CDCP and Dental Implants, Crowns and Root Canals: What to Ask First
dentalinsurancecdcp
Thinking about a crown, root canal or implant with CDCP? Here is what to ask your dental office so your portion is clear before treatment starts.
Larger dental work, such as crowns, root canals and implants, naturally raises questions about cost. CDCP coverage depends on the specific service and plan rules, so the best approach is to ask before treatment begins.
Why larger treatment needs a closer look
Bigger procedures often involve more steps and a larger portion that may not be covered. A predetermination (an estimate sent to CDCP) helps you plan.
Questions to ask before a crown
- Is this crown considered covered under my plan?
- What is the CDCP fee compared with the office fee?
- Are there other options, and how do they affect my portion?
To learn how crowns are made in one visit, see our same-day CEREC crowns guide.
Questions to ask before a root canal
- Is root canal therapy covered for my situation?
- Will I need a crown afterward, and is it covered?
Questions to ask about implants
Coverage for implants can be limited. Ask early, and read our dental implants guide to understand the process.
Remember
An estimate is not a guarantee. CDCP makes the final decision, and remaining benefits can change. We bill Sun Life directly and tell you your portion in advance.
