Treatment of dentinogenesis imperfecta consists of applying enamel to the teeth, a service provided by dentists. Though dental services are not generally covered by medical insurance, you could request your plan to consider covering it. Your rationale will be that the condition is genetic, has a broad impact on your overall health, and the treatment is not cosmetic. Your dentist will be the point person for arguing your case to the health plan. It's possible that the plan will cover it.

If they refuse, you can appeal the decision and have an outside party review your case. Good luck!
