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.
