Crowns

Crowns are used to cover the visible surface of the affected tooth and it increases the total strength, durability, and stability of that tooth. Because improper bite, constant grinding of teeth, have tooth decay or fillings, they are contributing factors of your teeth wearing down.

A cosmetic dentist can identify problem areas in your mouth which may lead to tooth damage. Chewing patterns play a big role too. By selectively grinding the tips of your middle and back teeth (cusps) will alter your bite to reduce the stress on your at-risk teeth.

In other cases, crowns can replace an actual missing tooth. These crowns are anchored to the teeth on either side, with a bridge section connecting the two crowns. Instead of bridges, single tooth dental implants may be used that eliminate the need for supporting the crowns.

It will cost more to have porcelain crowns due to the time it takes to perform the procedure compared to gold crowns. Average total cost of porcelain and gold crowns fall between $500 to $3,100.

In addition, using reinforced resin or bonded all-porcelain type of crowns cost more, and may exceed your insurance plan coverage for crowns. In addition, the price of dental crowns increases with the number of in-office treatments required by the patient. Typically, dental insurance does not typically cover all the costs of the dental crown procedure.

However, AmeriPlan can help you reduce the total cost of the procedure. Check the fee schedules around your area for an estimate of these procedures.
