In general, a regular dental crown will cost between $1100 and $1500. However, prices will vary depending on the type of crown chosen. Fees will vary according to the treatment you need before the final crown is cemented, so if you need bone grafting, a root canal or gum surgery, the price of a crown will go up.

Why are dental crowns so expensive?

Fees for crowns may vary between $1,000 – 1,500.
