💬 Dental Crown FAQ
What is the actual cost of a tooth crown?
Without insurance, the cost typically ranges between $900 to $1,500, depending on the material used.
How much does a crown tooth cost?
The price varies by material. Porcelain crowns are common and durable, priced around $1,100 on average.
Will insurance cover crowns?
Many PPO plans cover 50% to 80% of the crown cost. We’ll help verify your benefits during your visit.
What to do if you can’t afford a crown?
Consider our in-house dental savings plan or phased treatment. You can also ask about alternative treatments like fillings or temporary options.
What is a cheaper option than a crown?
A large composite filling may be an option for minor damage, but it’s not as strong as a crown.
How long can I go without a crown on my tooth?
We don’t recommend waiting more than 2–4 weeks after a root canal or crown prep. Delaying can lead to fractures or infection.
How bad can a tooth be and still get a crown?
As long as the root is healthy and there’s enough structure, a crown is possible. Otherwise, an extraction and implant may be recommended.
How to fix a tooth cap at home?
Use dental cement from a pharmacy to temporarily reseat a crown, but schedule an appointment ASAP.
What happens if you wait too long to get a dental crown?
The tooth may crack, decay further, or become painful—requiring more expensive treatment like an extraction or implant.
Can a dentist do a crown in one day?
Yes! We offer same-day CEREC crowns made in-office for qualified cases.
Can you get a crown without a root canal?
Absolutely. Many crowns are placed on teeth that haven’t had root canals, especially after fractures or cosmetic treatments.
Why do dentists push crowns?
Crowns are often the best long-term solution for protecting weakened teeth and preventing further issues.
Why do dentist charge so much for crowns?
Crown costs include lab work, high-quality materials, and multiple appointments—or high-tech milling for same-day options.
How much do crowns cost?
On average, expect $1,100–$1,600 per crown, depending on the type and insurance.
Do crowns pop off easily?
When done properly, crowns stay secure for years. If yours falls off, it may be due to poor fit or decay underneath—call us for a quick fix.

Esthetic Improvements With Crowns & Veneers
Crowns and veneers are used to achieve optimal esthetic outcomes. They can be effectively used to correct teeth that are discolored, misshapen, worn, or even misaligned.
Veneers require less tooth reduction than crowns, but each can provide the same level of esthetics. The deciding factor on which option is best to achieve your smile makeover is determined by the overall health of the teeth to be addressed.
How It’s Done
Achieving a successful smile makeover begins with careful planning. Impressions are made from the teeth to be treated and models are then built with idealized shapes and positions for teeth.
The actual teeth are then shaped to allow for crown or veneer placement, and temporary crowns/veneers are cemented into place according to he pre-planned models.
Finally, permanent crowns/veneers are fabricated and cemented into place resulting in your beautiful new smile!
Crowns & Veneers Offer Functional Improvement
Crowns are often used to correct functional issues as well. When teeth fracture, crack, or have large failing fillings, or extreme tooth wear, crowns are the option of choice for restoring the tooth back to like-natural function.
While they also provide beautiful esthetics, crowns are used frequently to save severely damaged teeth.
