Hi everyone,
Long story short, my mouth is a nightmare! Anyway, after years of neglecting my dental needs due to finances, I am finally at a place to get my teeth fixed and have been going to the dentist regularly to work on pre-existing conditions.
My question is in regards to pre-fab post & cores and core buildups & pins. Are either of these permanent?
Looking at the claims submitted to my insurance, there isn't anyone of them (out of the 7 since Jan 1, 2011) that shows a crown billing (and there's something there that resembles a tooth). I did have a root canal on tooth 6 and a pre-fab post and core on tooth 6.
Are the pre-fab post & cores meant to be permanent (tooth 6)?
Also, what about the core buildup & pins (teeth 9, 11, 13, and one on the bottom that has yet to be billed to insurance)?
Also, what is: COMPOSITE POST 4+SF (tooth/surface/range: 04-MODBL & 05-MODBL)?
Thank you for your help!
