Hi Ladies,

As you know my husband is active duty. 

Now I have tricare Prime active duty. Now dental is through united concordia, I need to have crowns put in on my top front teeth. Is this covered?

If i would have to pay would it be alot?

Is it free of cost if I get it done in a military facility to avoid co-pays in a civilian dentist?

I know we have dental through Concordia and we have to see a dentist off base cause the bases we have been at do not see civilians. There is a co-pay, I'm not sure what it is though.
