If you’re wondering whether the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers dental crowns, the answer is yes — in many cases! Coverage depends on the condition of the tooth and whether a crown is considered medically necessary for restoring proper function. At Toothcrew Family Dental, we help patients across Douglasdale, Douglasglen, Quarry Park and SE Calgary understand their coverage and maximize their benefits.
When Does CDCP Cover Crowns?
CDCP may cover a crown when:
The tooth is fractured, severely broken, or structurally compromised
A large filling has failed
The tooth has had a root canal and requires protection
A crown is needed to restore proper chewing function
Cosmetic-only crowns are not typically covered, but medically necessary ones often are.
What Type of Crown Might Be Recommended?
Depending on the tooth and the condition, our dentists may recommend:
Porcelain crowns – natural-looking, ideal for front teeth
Zirconia crowns – strong, durable, excellent for back teeth
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns – a balance of strength and aesthetics
We help you choose the best crown based on function, longevity, and CDCP eligibility.
