They\u2019re typically used to refine the shape of a tooth, add support to a weak tooth, and conceal cosmetic issues like discoloration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These days, crowns have become more common with advancements in dental technology. They\u2019re certainly more similar in appearance to natural teeth than they used to be, with a variety of materials to choose from. Let\u2019s explore.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Factors to consider when choosing dental crowns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental crowns may be classified according to their material, duration, and purpose. A variety of materials are available at different costs. Ultimately, of course, you should be working with your dentist to determine your specific needs and criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Factors to consider include:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The position of the affected tooth \/ teeth. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a molar tucked at the back, your dentist may recommend a metal crown. For those positioned more prominently, she or her may recommend ceramic or porcelain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The condition of the affected tooth \/ teeth.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your dentist will consider how much of the natural tooth will remain behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The state of your gum tissue.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> With advanced gum recession, the part of the crown closer to the gumline will become more obvious. This may not look as nice if you\u2019re considering a metal crown.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your peculiarities.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These include your individual habits and even any allergies you have. For example, if you tend to chew hard materials or gnash your teeth, more durable materials will be more appropriate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Personal preference.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your concern for aesthetics will definitely influence decision making.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>And of course, your budget.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Types of dental crowns<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whichever type of crown you and your dentist decide is right for you, it will be designed and made to fit snugly over the remaining piece of your natural tooth. Different material options include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><b>Ceramic crowns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are popular at the moment, with materials such as zirconia, porcelain, and others. Ceramic crowns do a very good job of mimicking the natural tooth. They have a warm, aesthetic appeal. However, they may crack and are generally not as durable as metal crowns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cost: <strong> $800 \u2013 $3,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Porcelain fixed to metal (PFM) crowns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like their name, the upper, visible part of this option is made of porcelain, laid on top of a metal base. This option attempts to combine the best of both worlds (aesthetics and durability), though not always successfully. The metallic component may over time show up as a striking line above the gum. There is also a risk of metal allergy here too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cost: <strong> $500 \u2013 $1,500<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Metal crowns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This option offers impressive strength and durability. However, metal crowns do stand out visually in contrast to the appearance of natural teeth. For this reason alone, they\u2019re typically used to repair back teeth. Metal allergy may complicate their use also.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cost: <strong>$600 \u2013 $2,600<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Stainless steel crowns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This option, while not aesthetically the best, can work for a kid\u2019s baby teeth, if a crown is required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cost: <strong>$120 \u2013 $350<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3><b>Composite resin<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These offer neither aesthetics nor strength of their porcelain counterparts. However, they are much kinder to your wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provisional \/ temporary crowns. These may be constructed of different materials and are typically installed for a short time while you wait for a final or permanent crown to be made. In some cases, your dentist may deliberately leave a temporary crown in place for a long time. This is commonly done to reduce pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cost: <strong>$300 \u2013 $700<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>How much do dental crowns cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On average, crowns will cost you between<strong> $800 and $1,700 <\/strong>per crown. Factors that come into play will include how badly your natural tooth is damaged, the type of material you select, and the level of skill required for the installation. (All-ceramic crowns require more skill and time.) The location of your dental practice may come into play also, as there are regional variations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By material or type, costs of crowns will cost you the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>All-ceramic:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $800 \u2013 $3,000<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Metal:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $600 \u2013 $2,600<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Porcelain fixed to metal:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $500 \u2013 $1,500<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provisional stainless steel:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $120 \u2013 $350<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provisional resin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $300 \u2013 $700<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What are the associated costs of getting a dental crown?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a more perfect smile is not achieved in isolation. Your dental treatment will usually involve a range of procedures that may include the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A full dental exam:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $20 \u2013 $150<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Supplementary investigations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as X-rays, casting, or scans: $10 \u2013 $300<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A root canal:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $300 \u2013 $2,000<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the extent of damage, these procedures may cost more than the crown alone. Additionally, your crown may require re-visiting some years down the line. Factor this in, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Does insurance cover the cost of dental crowns?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many dental procedures are considered cosmetic, meaning insurance companies typically don\u2019t cover their cost. But while crowns may be considered cosmetic, they\u2019re mostly correctional and restorative. They can relieve considerable discomfort and prevent further damage to the tooth or surrounding teeth. Also, they can be fit in a bid to prevent certain kinds of teeth damage. For these reasons, your insurance company may cover up to half of the dental crown cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/is-dental-insurance-worth-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see if you may be covered for dental insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need assistance paying for your crown, you may consider other forms of payment. These may include a dental plan or liaising with a financial company to help you gradually offset the bills.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4529\" class=\"elementor elementor-4529\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5704c5a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5704c5a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e9e5eb\" data-id=\"1e9e5eb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-695784d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"695784d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Book a dental consultation.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e5d6564 cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5e5d6564\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Find a dentist near you to tell you more about getting started on this procedure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f4f7d6e\" data-id=\"1f4f7d6e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-63069781 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"63069781\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=valuablecontent__opencare_blog__octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book now<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2><b>Why are dental crowns so expensive?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pricey nature of dental crowns largely stems from their materials, some of which can be hard to source. And of course, getting a crown requires the time and skill of a dentist. And one visit may not suffice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Are dental crowns worth it?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To answer this question, remember why you need a crown in the first place.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental issues may cause self-esteem problems. You may lose productivity and end up spending much more to treat extensive damage. Prevention is cheaper than cure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So although costly, dental crowns offer comfort and protection from further damage \u2013 as well as aesthetic appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And maybe most importantly, remember that crowns are long-lasting treatments. They may serve you for a decade or even two. Depending on your age at the time of treatment, you may have your crown for the rest of your years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, yes, in the long run, we believe crowns are\u00a0 worth the price!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How long can a crown last?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on their material, your oral hygiene approach, and your eating \/ chewing habits, crowns will typically last between five and 15 years. Some may take you through 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, metallic crowns last longer. They have a higher tensile strength and can withstand the force of chewing. Some patients love to chew tough substances such as ice, but it\u2019s important to remember that crowns are at risk of fractures and even cavities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Alternatives to dental crowns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what if you can\u2019t get a crown covering? Whatever your situation, it\u2019s important to have a discussion with your dentist. And while dental crowns are often the cream of the crop, you have other options available, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/dental-veneers-types-costs-procedure-and-what-to-expect\/\">Veneers<\/a>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are typically thinner and are usually applied to the front of a tooth\u2019s surface. They\u2019re largely cosmetic and hide visible faults on the surface of your teeth. They are not as invasive as tooth caps and preserve much of your natural tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bonding. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a simple chipped tooth, your dentist may recommend a procedure called bonding. Here, a bonding material is applied to the tooth. A light source is used to make this bind to the affected tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>In need of dental advice?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach out to us now at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opencare<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
