Dental Crown Cost Calculator
Dental crowns restore damaged, decayed, or heavily filled teeth, but cost varies significantly by material choice and how many crowns are needed. This calculator estimates your likely out-of-pocket cost after insurance.
Total Cost = Number of Crowns x Cost Per Crown
Out of Pocket = Total Cost x (1 - Insurance Coverage%)
Example
2 crowns at $1,200 each, with 50% insurance coverage:
Total Cost = 2 x $1,200 = $2,400 → Out of Pocket = $2,400 x 50% = $1,200
Material Affects Cost
| Crown Material | Relative Cost |
|---|---|
| Porcelain-fused-to-metal | Moderate |
| All-porcelain / all-ceramic | Moderate to high |
| Zirconia | High |
| Gold alloy | Variable (tied to gold price) |
This tool is for general planning purposes only - actual insurance coverage often has annual maximums and waiting periods for major procedures like crowns, so confirm exact coverage details with your insurer before starting treatment.
