What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a prosthetic, designed to cover and replace chipped or damaged teeth. It is made to look like your teeth so it blends seamlessly into your mouth. Dental crowns are also recommended after root canal treatment on posterior teeth (molars and premolars).
A crown is simply a good option for a damaged tooth, but such a complex procedure does carry an appropriate charge.
The Cost of a Crown in Arizona
A porcelain crown procedure in Phoenix, AZ costs $977.98 on average, with the highest cost in the Phoenix area at $1237.45, according to the Dental Cost Calculator.
This doesn’t include the cost of additional treatments such as an extraction or a root canal which can cost between $1045 and $1250.
Figures from the Journal of the Arizona Dental Association show that 44% of adults in Arizona don’t have dental insurance. Even for those with dental insurance, some policies have a limit of around $1500 on dental cover, so paying for a crown can be a stretch too far for some.
