Cost of dental crowns

The cost of dental crowns is based on various factors. For example, a single molar crown (Porcelain Fused to Metal) ranges in cost from about US $ 800 to US $ 1200 depending on the area, expertise of the dentist and the expertise of the lab technician making the crown.

Most dentists charge fees that range from $ 800 to $ 1,200 per restoration. Crowns are typically covered about 50% in most Normal PPO dental insurance plans.

Fees vary significantly based on location, number of restorations, level of difficulty of a specific patient's case and the experience of the dentist.

The cost of porcelain crowns may increase when additional diagnostic and or cosmetic procedures are required. For example, buildup on the tooth, bite adjustment etc.

Typically a dental crown is placed in two appointments. The first appointment is to prepare the tooth (teeth) for the placement of the crown(s). At the end of this appointment, a temporary crown is prepared and placed on the prepared tooth. At the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and the final crown delivered from the dental lab is placed on the tooth. Once the fit is OK, the final crown is permanently glued to the tooth. Any bite adjustments are then finished.

StarBrite Dental offers a ONE APPOINTMENT dental crown. StarBrite Dental uses the latest advance in crown making technology called a CEREC Machine. This technological marvel allows Dr. Munira to prepare the teeth, then create a digital image of the prepared tooth using the CEREC machine and then design a crown right there in front of you in the operatory. Once designed the information is sent to a milling machine in our office which will then produce a ceramic crown in within minutes. Dr. Munira would then place this crown on the prepared tooth and finish the entire procedure in one sitting.
