How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost in Venice, FL?

Dental crowns are an excellent treatment option for many different dental problems. If your dentist has told you that you need one or suspect you might benefit from one, you likely have several questions. One of the most common questions about dental crowns is how much they will cost.

The Average Cost of Dental Crowns in Venice, FL

Many factors determine how much a dental crown will cost, including:

• Dental crown materials 
• The problem tooth's location, size, and condition
• Local rates
• The dentist's training and experience

In some cases, dental insurance might cover about half of the cost if the crown is needed for medical reasons. However, dental crowns usually aren't covered if they are used for cosmetic reasons, and many dental plans have a maximum yearly coverage limit of $1,000-$2,000.

The average prices by crown materials are as follows:

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns: $1000-$1,500 or more per tooth
• Metal crowns of gold alloy: $1000-$1500 or more per tooth
• All-porcelain crowns can cost $1100-$1650 or more per tooth (they are more expensive because they require higher level dentistry skills and take more time to install than metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns)

The good news is that dental crowns last an average of 5 to 15 years, depending on several  factors such as:

• Normal crown wear and tear
• Oral hygiene practiced by the patient
• Personal oral habits such as chewing ice or clenching the teeth

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

Do I Need a Dental Crown?

Your dentist might recommend a dental crown if you have a tooth that is too decayed to treat with a filling, an infected tooth after a root canal, or a tooth that is broken or cracked due to oral trauma. To find out if you are a candidate for a dental crown, speak with one of our experienced dental providers.

Is it Painful to Get a Dental Crown?

No, it shouldn't hurt when getting your dental crown placed. During the placement process, your dentist will numb your mouth, ensuring that you don't notice any pain or discomfort when they prepare your tooth to make room for your crown. We also offer sedation dentistry to make the process even easier on you—ask your dentist if you are a good candidate for this option.
