What is a dental crown?
A crown covers all the tooth or a part of it. Dental crowns serve for aesthetic and prosthetic purposes as well as to protect the abutment of implants. After the dentist has prepared the tooth or has put the implant abutment on the implant, he takes an impression and sends it to the laboratory. Then the laboratory prepares the crown of the ordered material. When the crown is ready, the dentist fixes it on the tooth or on the implant abutment. After this short explanation, let’s see now the topic of dental crown cost.
What does the dental crown cost depend on? How much is a crown?
The dental crown cost depends on two factors: its material and its type.
Materials that are most commonly used for a dental crown:
– Metal-ceramic – Porcelain fused on a metal base (specially alloyed metal). Its advantage is that the porcelain is timeless, does not discolor.
– Full-ceramic/zirconia – Completely metal-free, aesthetically the most ideal, as they are the most similar to natural teeth.
– Gold-ceramic – Nowadays only used when the patient is allergic to metals.
– Plastic – Applied only for temporary restoration. Their life-span is limited to the healing phase (after surgery) until the preparation of the final denture
