What Factors Contribute To The Cost Of Dental Crowns (Caps)?
When you visit the team at Surrey Place Dental Group in Surrey, British Columbia, for dental crowns (also called caps) on your teeth, there are several factors that may contribute to the overall cost. The cost of a dental crown will be dependent on several factors. These factors can include the materials used, the type of crown, and more. If you’re wondering how much it costs to get full caps on your teeth, read on to find out.
The Cost of Dental Crowns
Here’s a breakdown of the main components that contribute to the cost of dental crowns:
- Type of crown: There are several types of dental crowns available (depending on your personal dentist), including porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), all-ceramic or all-porcelain, metal, and zirconia crowns. Each type varies in terms of aesthetics, durability, and cost. PFM crowns tend to be more affordable, while all-ceramic and zirconia crowns are often more expensive due to their superior aesthetics and strength
- Materials used: The materials used to fabricate the crown also impact its cost. For example, gold crowns, although less common today, are durable and long-lasting but come at a higher price point due to the cost of the precious metal. Porcelain and ceramic crowns are popular choices for their natural appearance, but they may be more expensive than metal crowns. It is important to note that your dentist may only offer certain types of crowns, so consulting with them on the options is an important step
- Laboratory fees: Dental crowns are typically fabricated in a dental laboratory by skilled technicians. The cost of laboratory fees can vary depending on the complexity of the crown and the quality of materials used. Crowns that require intricate customization or special features may incur higher laboratory fees
- Treatment complexity: The complexity of the dental procedure required to place the crown can influence its overall cost. For example, if additional treatments such as root canal therapy or periodontal treatment are needed before crown placement, the total cost will be higher
- Geographic location: The cost of dental services can vary significantly depending on the region and local market conditions. Dental practices located in urban areas or areas with a higher cost of living may charge more for their services compared to practices in rural or less affluent areas
- Additional factors: Other factors that may affect the cost of dental crowns include the dentist’s level of experience and expertise, overhead costs of the dental practice, and any additional services or amenities provided, such as sedation options or digital imaging technology
