The cost to get a Dental Crown ranges from $500.00 to $1,500.00 although in some cases a dental crown can cost as much as $3,000.00 per tooth.

Porcelain dental crowns typically cost between $800.00 - $3,000.00 per tooth.

Porcelain fused to metal crowns cost vary between $800.00 and $1,400.00 per tooth.

If the Dental Crown is needed then your dental insurance should cover the cost of the Dental Crown.

However if you just want to get the Dental Crown then you may need to pay the cost for the dental crown out of pocket.

n summary, dental crowns cost 3-5 times as much as dental fillings, because they require considerable more expense to the dentist, and they give the patient a stronger, longer lasting, more permanent and more esthetic restoration.

The average lifespan for a well-maintained dental crown is typically around 15 years. However, when taken care of properly, it is common to see them last upwards of 25-30 years.

In dentistry, a dental crown most commonly refers to a dental cap, a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant.

A dental crown may be needed when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth.

A dental crown is typically bonded to the tooth by dental cement.

Getting a dental crown is not a painful experience; thanks to the use of anesthetic and sedation, most patients feel only mild discomfort.

The benefits of getting a dental crown fitted far outweigh this temporary discomfort.

Prices can vary a lot depending on the type of material and the dentist you choose. Some places charge over $1,500 per crown, while others offer more affordable options. If you're looking for reasonable pricing with quality care, colinadental.com might be worth checking out. They provide different types of crowns, and the costs are usually lower than what many other clinics charge.

I see it's been a while since this was discussed, but has anyone noticed big price differences depending on the type of crown? I've been looking into it, and it seems like porcelain and zirconia can be way more expensive than metal ones. Also, does anyone have experience with getting a crown through a dental school? I've heard it can be cheaper, but I'm not sure about the quality.

Prices for dental crowns vary a lot depending on the material and location. I paid around $1,200 for a porcelain one, but my friend got a metal one for under $900. If you're considering implants instead of crowns, you might want to check out https://jeffreygrossdds.com/  since implants can be a better long-term solution, especially if the tooth is too damaged for a crown.
