The Cherokee Nation Health Services (CNHS) Crown & Bridge Program is designed as an incentive service for eligible patients that have displayed a desire to achieve optimal dental health by following through with all of their recommended dental treatments. This allows the CNHS dental department to offer more comprehensive dental options to maintain a patient’s teeth.

Program Eligibility:

The patient must be a registered member of a federally recognized tribe.

The patient must have a record with CNHS, and a dental exam must be conducted at the patient's current CNHS dental clinic.

The patient must pay a $100 copay. This can be paid in the form of a cashier's check or money order made payable to the Cherokee Nation, per unit.

Program Requirements:

Crown procedures are scheduled at the discretion of the dental department based on needs and clinic schedule.

Patients eligible for this service are responsible for keeping their appointments. Broken appointments may affect patient eligibility.

Patients are eligible for this program at the Cherokee Nation Dental Clinic where their exam was completed. If a patient wants to transfer to a new clinic, a transfer exam will need to be completed prior to the scheduling of a crown.

Eligible patients may not receive more than 3 crowns or 1 fixed appliance (ex. bridge) in a calendar year.

Replacement or repair cost for any crown will be at the patient’s own expense unless the failure is due to materials.
