<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDental crowns cover the entire tooth or dental implant. Crowns are used in situations when teeth are broken, severely discolored, cracked, or in conjunction with bridges to strengthen several teeth. Crowns made of zirconia or ceramic are becoming more popular as an alternative to metal crowns. This type of crown is more durable and has several advantages. Learn more about zirconia crowns and their benefits. If you're considering getting one, make sure to learn as much as possible about the procedure before making your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before deciding on the material for your dental crown, you need to determine the overall cost of the procedure. There are two main components to dental crown cost: the materials and the equipment. The materials and equipment used for dental crowns can be costly, so it's important to choose a dentist with high experience in the procedure. The cost of a ceramic crown varies, depending on the dentist's skill and experience. Gold crowns are generally the most expensive type of crown, while zirconia crowns are less expensive and made from porcelain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ceramic crown can cost anywhere from $800 to $3000 for one tooth. A porcelain crown costs between $800 and $3000. Ceramic crowns can wear down adjacent teeth and are not recommended for biting surfaces. However, they are an aesthetically pleasing solution for front teeth. Another option for dental crowns is porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, which cost between $500 and $1,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have metal allergies, you should stay away from PFM crowns. The most natural-looking option is ceramic, and it's biocompatible. The downside of all-ceramic crowns is that they're brittle and can break. But they're worth the money. If you're not comfortable with metal, you may want to consider zirconia or an all-ceramic crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before getting a crown, make sure you have an appointment to visit the dentist. The first part of the procedure usually takes about 2 hours. During this time, the dentist numbs the gums, prepares the tooth, and takes an impression. The final step is the fitting of the permanent crown. Most crowns require two visits. You'll have to return to the dentist for the final crown, which will cost approximately $450.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
