A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged, weakened or root-canal-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength. Crowns are made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or porcelain fused to metal. Some clinics make same-day crowns with in-office milling.
General dentists place most crowns. A prosthodontist, a specialist in restoring teeth, may be recommended for complex cases involving many teeth, implants, or major bite changes.
Typical ranges in USD for El Cajon, CA. Your price depends on the tooth, the case and the clinic.
