Medical insurance does not cover anything relating to teeth. You need separate dental insurance for that. (And if your regular doctor bills anything that is related to dental - it'll be denied.) Call member services (the number is on the back of your card) to confirm.

Health insurance will generally only cover procedures done by an MD and not a DDS. This would include services by an oral/maxillofacial surgeon for medical related issues (jaw abscess or injury due to trauma). Your health insurance policy should have an outline regarding dental procedures, but for the most part they are only covered when it becomes an emergency.

You need to review your insurance policy, most will give you outlines of what is covered, after what time frame and in what percentage.
Porcelain is rarely covered, however bridge work is covered in more premium heath packages after a term of 1-3 years carrying coverage from the individual company.
