What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, also known as a tooth cap, is a type of dental restoration that completely encases or covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance while also improving its function.
​
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of materials. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking restoration.
Is A Dental Crown Right For Me?
Most patients are excellent candidates for dental crowns. Crowns are commonly used to:
-
Protect a weak tooth from further damage or fracture
-
Restore a tooth that has been significantly worn down or damaged due to decay, injury, or root canal therapy
-
Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when not enough natural tooth structure remains
-
Restore the appearance and function of a misshapen, discolored, or severely stained tooth
-
Anchor and support dental bridges
-
Cover a dental implant to replace a missing tooth
​
Overall, dental crowns are versatile restorations that help strengthen, protect, and enhance the appearance of damaged or compromised teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to the smile.
How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost?
Total dental crown cost can vary from patient to patient depending upon the following factors:
​
-
Type of dental Crown: The type of material used for the crown can significantly impact its cost. Porcelain and ceramic crowns tend to be more expensive than metal or composite resin crowns due to their superior aesthetics and durability.
-
Lab Fees: Dental crowns are custom-made in a dental laboratory, and these lab fees can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the quality of materials used.
-
Additional Procedures: If any preliminary treatments such as tooth preparation, root canal therapy, or gum contouring are required before placing the crown, these can add to the overall cost.
-
Number of Crowns: The total cost will depend on how many crowns are needed. For example, placing multiple crowns as part of a full-mouth reconstruction will be more expensive than a single crown restoration.
-
Insurance Coverage: Most dental insurances partially cover the cost of dental crowns, especially if they are deemed medically necessary for functional reasons. However, coverage varies depending on the insurance plan and individual policy.
