How much do dental crowns cost?

2012-01-16

This page provides a general estimate of the price you might pay to have a dental crown made for a tooth.

As you can see, there are a several different types of crowns (gold, porcelain, etc…) that can be placed. On a practical level, however, you’ll probably find that your dentist has distinct preferences and therefore tends to encourage toward and routinely place only two or three of the different types listed here.

Notice that our list demonstrates that the relative cost of each of the different types of crowns does not vary drastically. So if your dentist feels the construction or appearance of one type will create a better looking, better fitting or more durable final restoration, then for the relatively small cost difference involved, it’s probably a great idea to follow their recommendation.
