When you get insurance, but didn't previously have it, there is usually a waiting period for certain bigger procedures - like crowns. That's to prevent people from going without, and then getting the insurance right when they know they'll have big bills.
If you can wait more than 6 months for the crowns, it might be possible. You'd need to look into it.
Plus, most dental insurance will only pay 50% of crowns. (typically 100% of cleaning, 80% of fillings, and 50% of the bigger stuff)

Get your full dental work and implant surgery in India.Dental Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic/dental surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.
They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star .
My cousin got her full dental work and jaw surgery for the cross bite and the overbite problem done there and she is more than very happy with the results.sHe is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.She paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her.hope this helps.I think she paid only 7000$ for the full dental surgery for which she was quoted 19000 $ in USA.

Actually, maybe not. Read the fine print and talk to the billing people at your dentist's office -- they'll give you the skinny on each insurance type. Some insurance pays basically for cleanings and little else; some pays for orthodontia. Read carefully before signing on the dotted line.

No, you should definately pay 100% for all of it. That would obviously be MUCH better.
If you get insurance then go to a different dentist. That way it will not be a pre-existing condition.

No insurer will cover you for a pre-existing condition. You are out of luck. Sorry.
