Dental crown price: how much does a dental crown cost?
Dental crowns are a common solution for people with damaged, broken, or missing teeth. But how much does a dental crown cost? Prices can vary depending on several factors, including the type of dental crown, the material used, and the geographical region where you are.
Types of dental crowns
There are several types of dental crowns, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Common types include:
- Porcelain crowns: Porcelain crowns are typically the most aesthetic, as they can be made to match the color of your natural teeth. They are also very durable and stain-resistant.
- Ceramic crowns: Ceramic crowns are similar to porcelain crowns, but they are made from a more durable material. They are also very aesthetic and stain-resistant.
- Metal crowns: Metal crowns are the most durable, but they are also the least aesthetic. They are typically used for posterior teeth that are not visible when you smile.
- Resin crowns: Resin crowns are the least expensive, but they are also the least durable. They can be used for temporary teeth or as a temporary solution for permanent teeth.

Replaced in 2016 by the PUMA (universal health protection), the CMU allows people in a precarious situation who carry out a professional activity or who reside in France on a stable and regular basis to have the same rights as any insured person.
It therefore covers dental crowns in the same way as Social Security, i.e. up to 70% on the basis of agreed rates.
The lifespan depends partly on the quality of the material chosen, but also on the oral hygiene of the patient.
When wearing a crown, it is essential to brush your teeth well at least twice a day and to perform regular scaling.
On average, it is considered that a dental crown can last 15 to 20 years if properly maintained.
A temporary crown is placed temporarily by the dentist while waiting for the final crown to be ready. It is used in particular to let the gums retract correctly before placing the final crown a few months later.
The temporary crown is also very important aesthetically because it prevents the patient from displaying a toothless smile while waiting for the permanent crown. In general, a temporary crown is only kept for a few months.
