How much do dental crowns cost?

A single dental crown typically costs $1,000–$2,500 in 2026, with porcelain-fused-to-metal and all-ceramic at the higher end and full-metal slightly lower. Same-day CAD/CAM crowns run similar to lab crowns. Insurance typically covers 50% of medically necessary crowns after deductible.

What does getting a crown involve?

Traditional crowns take two visits: the tooth is shaped, an impression taken, and a temporary placed; the permanent crown is cemented 2–3 weeks later. Same-day CAD/CAM crowns are scanned, milled in-office in 60–90 minutes, and cemented in a single visit. Local anesthesia is used.

Does getting a crown hurt?

Crown prep is painless under local anesthesia. Mild sensitivity to hot, cold, and pressure for 2–4 weeks is normal; persistent pain may indicate the need for a root canal. There is no downtime — patients eat normally the same day, avoiding sticky foods with a temporary.

How long do dental crowns last?

Crowns typically last 10–15 years, with all-ceramic and zirconia crowns often lasting 15–20+ years. Recurrent decay at the margin is the most common failure cause, so flossing under the crown is essential. Grinders should wear a nightguard to protect the porcelain.

Do I need a crown or could a filling work?

A crown is needed when a tooth has a large filling covering more than half the surface, after root canal treatment, or when a tooth is cracked. If less than 50% of the tooth structure is missing, a large filling or onlay ($600–$1,500) is often a conservative alternative.

Service Guide

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-fitted caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or composite materials, they protect and strengthen compromised teeth.

About Dental Crowns

What is Dental Crowns?

Who Needs It?

Crowns are recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, broken, or weakened after root canal treatment. They are also used to anchor dental bridges and cover dental implants.

What to Expect

Your dentist will prepare the tooth by reshaping it, take impressions for a custom crown, and place a temporary crown. At your follow-up visit, the permanent crown is cemented in place for a natural look and feel.
