Treatment Cost Factors

On average, a dental crown costs between $500 and $1,500. This cost varies by patient due to a number of factors, including:

Additional Procedures

Additional procedures are often needed before a dental crown is placed to address the cause of decay or damage. Common procedures before placing a dental crown include root canals or periodontal treatments. While these treatments are often covered by dental insurance, they may increase the overall out-of-pocket cost of your treatment. However, it is important to remember that these procedures can help you preserve the tooth structure, reducing or eliminating the need for an extraction or implant.

Sedation

Sedation is a fantastic comfort option for patients with dental anxiety. It can also benefit patients who experience restlessness during treatment. It is important to remember that sedation options can increase the cost of your treatment, but sedation is also a great option to ensure your comfort while you address oral health issues.

Same-Day Crowns

For patients who qualify, our dental office is proud to offer same-day crowns using advanced CEREC® technology. Traditional crowns require at least two visits to our Albuquerque office and a temporary crown, which can increase the cost of your treatment. Same-day crowns are crafted in office, and you will leave your appointment with your permanent crown instead of waiting for a lab to fabricate a traditional porcelain crown or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown.

Dental Implants

Though your dentist will do everything he can to save your tooth, sometimes it is too damaged to be saved. A crown supported by an implant can not only replace a missing tooth, but it can prevent or stop jawbone atrophy that occurs when the bone no longer has the stimulation the tooth root once provided. While this does increase your initial cost, it is an investment in your future oral health.

Dr. Haight and his team are wonderful. I’ve had a few fillings replaced there and each visit was a pleasure.. One of the cool things is all the things the tech they have on site that improves their ability to create crowns and other dental implants precisely to the shape of your tooth. It just took a few minutes during the appointment to do. If you want a dentist that cares about staying current and delivering the best care, go here!
