I was denied insurance for a white glass with high gold content crown for tooth 19 by Dental Quest. I need help

Based on the information you provided, it sounds like your dentist placed a temporary filling after the root canal. Your next visit should include core buildup and prepping the tooth for a permanent crown. A tooth that has had a root canal is more prone to fracture and it is important that the tooth is restored soon after root canal treatment especially if you grind your teeth. I would recommend following up with your dentist. I'm sorry to hear that your insurance won't cover your crown but I can tell you that most dental offices offer financing options to make procedures affordable. I hope this helps!

Most likely your dentist placed a temporary filling after the root canal treatment while the tooth settles down.  This will need to be followed by a core buildup (large permanent filling) and finally with a crown for strength and function.There is concern with any grinding habit that you make fracture the tooth, possibly beyond repair.  You should discuss this with your dentist along with restoration.  I am not sure about the issue with your insurance, however, I would say that if you trust your dentist, have treatment dictated by what you both feel would your best options not by what insurance will or will not cover.
