Restorative dentistry

Dental crowns

A crown covers and protects a tooth that is cracked, worn or heavily filled. Many of our crowns are designed, made and fitted in a single visit.

03Cost and insurance

What it costs

$900–$2,000 per crown

Typical range in the US without insurance (2026 consumer cost guides). Your own estimate comes after the exam, in writing, before anything is done.

The cost depends on the material, the tooth and whether the tooth needs work first, such as a build-up. A same-day crown saves a second visit and a temporary crown.

Dental insurance
Many PPO plans cover part of this treatment. We check your benefits and give you a written estimate before anything is done.
Monthly payments
Third-party financing such as CareCredit lets you spread the cost, if you’d like.
No insurance?
Ask about our membership plan: checkups, cleanings and X-rays for a yearly fee, plus a discount on treatment.

04Who plans it

If a filling can still save your tooth, I’ll tell you. A crown is for when the tooth really needs the protection.

05How we work

Our clinical standards

The details that make a difference to how this treatment is done — and why we do them.

  • A crown only when a filling won’t do

    If a filling or onlay can save the tooth, we tell you — a crown is recommended when the tooth needs the protection.

  • Digital scan and on-screen design

    No putty trays: your tooth is scanned in 3D and the crown designed to your bite, many of them the same day.

  • Material chosen for the tooth

    Lithium disilicate where appearance matters most, zirconia where strength does — and we explain the choice.

  • A dry, isolated tooth

    Bonded fillings and crowns need a dry tooth. We isolate it with a rubber dam or a soft isolation mouthpiece, which also keeps water and material out of your mouth.

  • Your bite checked before you leave

    We test how your teeth meet — biting and sliding side to side — and adjust until it feels like your own tooth.

06Is it for you

When a crown is the right choice

  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • A tooth with a large, old filling that is failing
  • After a root canal on a back tooth
  • A worn tooth, or to restore a dental implant

If a filling or an onlay would do, your dentist will say so — a crown covers the whole tooth, so we suggest it only when it’s needed.

08Questions

Questions patients ask

All questions

Many are. Some cases — for example several crowns at once or certain materials — are made by a dental laboratory and fitted at a second visit.

With good care many crowns last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular checkups help us spot problems early.

The tooth is numbed, so most people feel pressure rather than pain. It may be a little tender for a day or two.
