Also called a cap, a dental crown is a tooth-shaped outer shell that is cemented onto a single tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore the shape, size and/or appearance of a misshapen, discolored or broken tooth; to strengthen a weak tooth; or to cover root canals, implants or the teeth that anchor either end of a dental bridge. Crowns can be made from porcelain (a dental ceramic), metal or a combination called porcelain-fused-to-metal.
 
Typical costs:
  • The cost of a dental crown depends on the materials used; the size, location and condition of the tooth; local rates; and the dentist's training and experience. Dental insurance might cover about 50% of the cost if the crown is needed for medical reasons, but dental crowns are typically not covered if they are considered cosmetic, and many dental plans have a maximum annual coverage limit of $1,000 -$1,500.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can cost $500 -$1,500 or more per tooth. For example, CostHelper readers without insurance coverage report paying $875 -$1,400 for porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, at an average cost of $1,093. CostHelper readers with insurance report out-of-pocket expenses of $282 -$1,000, with an average payment of $618.
  • Metal crowns of gold alloy (called high noble metal) or of base metal alloys (non-noble) can cost $600 -$2,500 or more per tooth. CostHelper readers without insurance report paying $830 -$2,465 for a metal crown, at an average cost of $1,353. CostHelper readers with insurance report out-of-pocket expenses of $519 -$1,140, for an average payment of $882.
  • All-porcelain crowns require a higher level of skill and take more time to install than metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, and can cost $800 -$3,000 or more per tooth. CostHelper readers without insurance report paying $860 -$3,000, at an average cost of $1,430. CostHelper readers with insurance report out-of-pocket expenses of $530 -$1,875, for an average payment of $953.
What should be included:
  • A crown typically requires two office visits. After numbing the tooth and nearby gums the dentist files down the tooth to make room for the crown. If a large area of tooth is missing, filling material is used to build up the tooth so it can support the crown. After an impression is made of the patient's mouth, a temporary filling (typically made of acrylic) is placed on the tooth. The impression is sent to a dental laboratory to create a permanent crown, which generally takes two to three weeks. At the second appointment, the dentist removes the temporary and cements the permanent crown in place. The Washington Post provides an illustrated overview, while WebMD offers a detailed description plus a before-and-after photo of a dental crown (slide number 4).
  • The dentist chooses the best material for a crown depending on the type, location and condition of the tooth. Metal crowns are typically used on out-of-sight back molars; all-porcelain crowns are typically placed on front teeth; and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can be used on front or back teeth. The American Dental Association provides a comparison chart of dental crown materials.
  • Dental crowns last an average of 5-15 years, depending on the amount of wear and tear, the quality of oral hygiene practiced and personal habits such as chewing ice or clenching the teeth, or chewing ice, according to WebMD. A crown may need to be replaced several times during the patient's lifetime.
Additional costs:
  • There may be separate charges for an initial exam ($20 -$100 or more) and dental X-rays ($10 -$250).
  • If the tooth has extensive decay, become infected or been injured, a root canal ($300 -$1,500 for a front tooth, $500 -$2,000 for a molar) might be needed before the crown can be installed.
  • If a large area of tooth is missing because of decay or damage, there may be an additional charge of $150 -$250 or more to build up the tooth (although some dentists include this cost in their quoted price for a crown).

Husband went to dentist for cleaning with no complaints. Dentist said crown necessary at $1100. Xrays showed no cracks but tooth does have a filling. Went to new dentist who said there is no reason to crown as it was not necessary. WTF! Our out of pocket would have been 50%! Obviously changing dentists now.

Which Tooth: 15Type of Crown: porcelain over metal
All my molars have been crowned over a period of years. Three years ago I learned that the tooth had cracked above the gum line, but I felt no pain. Advised to see specialist who told me to just leave it until I felt pain. Regular dentist was great, referred me to specialist. Specialist advised waiting. Perhaps you fix your teeth when needed for cosmetic reasons or pain.

Which Tooth: #2Type of Crown: Gold
Grinding teeth has led to many cracked teeth. This last one was a very tricky one to save because I waited 5 years! Therefore the bottom molar had lifted up to fill in the vacant space of broken #2. I about freaked out when I learned about the cost for 1 tooth, but it looks like I am not alone. I feel like I am being treated by a very experienced dentist, so I have no complaints. Every procedure done in my mouth (MANY)have been done by a different dentist. So you could say 1) I have not received satisfactory treatment to go back a second time 2) I research their recommendations before agreeing. I will just take out more money for HSA. The dental insurance offered is a waste of money,IMO.

Had a root canal a few years back, that tooth was infected and had to be pulled out. Who's gonna take responsibility for this? the dentist that messed up the root canal ? who's gonna pay for my new implant?
if dentists are going to charge so much for fees, they should be able to pay for my new fees since they're the ones that messed up my tooth and now it's gone, money can't replace it.

If it cost the dentist so much money to deal with the insurance company don't insult me with an offer of a 5% discount for cash.

If you aren't business smart enough to understand the value of immediate cash into your business, how can I expect you to be smart enough to work on my teeth?

My dentist wanted $599. more than insurance for crown.I told him money was very tight. But he would not start work until I paid him for the crown via time payments up to the $599. I have seen this dentist for about 10 years and my children too. I was surprised he was so uncaring about my situation. After I left the office, I remembered I have Care Credit, and it is in my dental records, but no one at the dental office even checked my records. I am looking for a more humane dentist .

Which Tooth: 31Type of Crown: Porcelain
After reading the posts on this blog, I do not feel too bad about my bill.

I am in the CIGNA HMO. In Boulder Colorado I used Boulder Modern Dentistry.

The CIGNA HMO dictates a fee schedule to the dentist. They cannot charge more that the fee schedule for a given procedure. To add to the billing, they can do additional procedures, so you have to watch for that.

I just had a new crown put on tooth 31, which had developed a crack. Fortunately, I got a written quote at the time the appointment for the crown was made.

The total was $365 which was right out of the CIGNA HMO fee schedule.

This office uses a CAD system to photograph and xray your tooth and the surrounding teeth. They then manufacture the porcelain crown in the office from the photograph/xray while you wait.

The whole procedure takes about 2 hours from walk in to walk out. I just had it done and it seems to have worked out ok.

I thought $365 was alot for 2hrs, but based on the posts here, it seems reasonable.

OK, first of all, please all you dentists and dental assistants feel free to explain your costs, I am listening, really! It makes sense to me. What doesn't is your condescending attitudes. Give that a rest and be professional in your explanation. I have some insurance that is covered, some that is not. I will pay my bill as I should. I hope that the work is done well. I have done my homework in finding a good dentist, and can only hope they are being fair with me.

25% return?

Posted by: a user in Boston, MA.Posted: January 25th, 2011 06:01PM
Quote from Andi L:
"Typically, dentists have 75% of their production costs spent as overhead. The range is from 50-90%. That means, for every $100 you spend at the dentist, the dentist makes only $25"

Holy christ, so your profit is 25%? That is INSANE. No wonder there is no itemization on the bill, just a 2100 "Dentist charge" of which "insurance" allows only 1300 (so I have to pay half of 1300 and the diff between 2100 and 1300). What a ripoff!

Root canals and crowns
Amount: $3.00
Posted by: xxannan in Cedar Rapids, IA.Posted: February 17th, 2011 09:02PM
Which Tooth: top front, lower molarType of Crown: porcelain
I am "lucky" enough to have medicaid, which covers most basic dental work except for a 3.00 copay per visit. The problem is, I have yet to meet a dentist that accepts medicaid that has any clue how to perform actual dentistry. The first root canal I had done, the dentist left necrotic tissue inside the tooth, and then couldn't figure out why I wasn't responding to the 5 different antibiotics. Had to get that one fixed at the dental college (incidentally, they don't believe you have to have a crown over a root canal, and I haven't had a problem with the tooth since)

Went to a different dentist the next time. Again, problems with infection, the crown didn't fit (so he just filed it down, chipping the heck out of it in the process) 6 months later, the fing thing is infected again, so they have to pull it. The tooth comes out, and there's filling material hanging out of the root tips...he managed to file out the bottom on 2 of the 3 canals.

Sitting here with an upper molar screaming at me, and you know what? I'm scared to do this again. I almost think it's worth paying the 2k or whatever the specialist is going to charge. At least there's a better chance he didn't graduate at the bottom of his class, and might take his time for a profit, instead of treating me like a second class citizen because he's loosing money on state insurance,

Which Tooth: molarType of Crown: Porcelain to Gold
2 things.
I have had to have 4 crowns in 2 years since I have started with this dentist.
Isnt the core build up supposed to be included in this cost? So they charge 1090 for the crown, then 165. for the build up. Insurance only pays 50% of non precious metal so I have to pay the other 50% plus the balance for the adjusted rate of the Porcelain to gold plus the build up /Prep of the tooth.

Secondly, the last 3 crowns look like metal to me, I am told my dentist only does gold to porcelain crowns.

Questions re cavity under crown and new crown lead to dentists libel
Amount: $1,274.00
Posted by: Miriyam in Santa Rosa, CA.Posted: April 5th, 2011 12:04AM
Which Tooth: 3rd molar from frontType of Crown: gold
I was to be charged $1248 for removing decay and a new gold crown. Dentist who sold his practice to another said gold was high and he would give me $150 for the old crown. Owner of practice said $60. I asked what material would be used at gumline to prevent another cavity. Received letter today stating they were cutting me out as patient. No answer to my question. I think it is because they don't want to be found out to be cheating re the gold price and that they don't have an excuse for the cavity at the gum line. Does anyone have any answers or experience? They are refusing to the do the work, and the cavity is said to be deep. I believe this is libel and probably won't be able to get another dentist.

Which Tooth: NAType of Crown: NA
As a dentist for over thirty years I am well
aware that the cost for dentistry is not
inexspensive and yes some dentist are hard
sell and over treat patients. My average lab bill
per crown is $185 to $250. I use a local lab.
I don't send my lab work to China or cheap
mass production labs. I charge about $1000
per crown and use gold which is currently $1350
per oz. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to do crown.
Most people think I get to put all the profit
in my pocket but I have to pay staff, rent,
insurance, utilities etc. I would like to think my time is worth more than a plumbers but not
so. I had to call a drain cleaning company a
few weeks ago. Cost $185. Time spent in office
20 minutes and I had to pay before he left. Last year had to have my water heater replaced. Cost
$900. Time spent in office about one hour. Cost
of the water heater at Home Depot $275 and that
is a retail price and I had to pay in full before
the plumber left. Yes you can go to Mexico and
save alot of money because the cost of operating
a dental office in Mexico is much, much cheaper
than California. Most dental ofiices have an hourly overhead of $200-$300 per hour, or more.
This what is costs just keep the doors open
and before the dentist earns one cent.

Prevention is Way Cheaper than any Crown
Amount: $0.00
Posted by: A Dental Friend in L.A., CA.Posted: September 13th, 2011 11:09AM
The most expensive dental work is no dental work done at all...meaning that it is far better to make sure you go for regular check-ups, xrays, and prevention in order to nip small problems in the bud. Remember, teeny cavities are hardly ever painful -- yet. Left untreated, they will get worse since they can't heal themselves. If you wait to the point where there is considerable pain, you already have advanced to a larger problem. So if your dentist (an honest one) tells you that you have a small cavity or a small crack on your tooth, even if it doesn't hurt yet, please get it taken care of now before it erupts into a bigger and more costly problem. I am not a dentist, but I do work in a dental office. I see it all the time...folks that wait and wait, and then come in later with excrutiating pain. By then, it has progressed to a major and very expensive procedure, like a Crown, Root Canal, or Extraction. (And telling them "I told you so" is not cool.)

These posts are way out of line. Gold costs a dental lab roughly $940.00 for one ounce of 47% gold alloy; an industry standard. The lab can make 5 to 7 crowns from this ounce. A high priced lab is charging AT MOST $450.00 for these easily made restorations. Ask your dentist for the labs name and # and give them a call... and ask to see the labs invoice. If your Dr is over charging, they will likely not want to show you the invoice or share the phone # with you.

I just had my crown completed yesterday. The dentist was very professional and I had minimal discomfort. \r\nNot all dentists are professional though. The reason I had to have the crown was because of an unethical dentist who drilled into every one of my molars when I was a child to the point one of them crumbled while I was eating a ham sandwich. I was not a candy eater and yes, I brushed my teeth. I believe I would have been better off not seeing the dentist at all as he ruined my teeth.

Which Tooth: 6 and 12Type of Crown: all porcelain
Before I decide to do the crowns I ask the dental assistant how much going to cost me to replace one of the old crown in one tooth and do a root canal and new crown in other tooth. She told me with insurance around $1900.00. I wait a couple months to save some money and decided to do it. The first time I paid around $1500 and now I receive an statement that I need to pay $1100 more. I\\\'m not happy with one tooth because I\\\'m still have sensitivity and the crown was big. The Dr. reduced and polish the crown. Now the crown is not shining anymore. I\\\'m complaining about that but really they don\\\'t care. I think if the doctor didn\\\'t make a good job I shouldn\\\'t not pay for that amount. Somebody can give me some advice?
