Average price of a crown (details)?

Just curious what the average price of having a molar crowned is. My dental insurance through work is more of a "discount plan", and I have a deep cavity in one of my rear molars and need a crown. My portion of the cost is $400. Is this about right? (No root canal involved.)

That sounds right. Most dental insurances pay for 50% of crowns and most crowns are around $800-$1000.
Reply:Thats about right...some places are more.
Reply:That good They rum 1,000 to 1,500
Reply:I think that's about right. I just had one, and the total cost of the crown was $900, and I had to pay about $375 as my "co-pay" or out of pocket expense or whatever they called it.
Reply:Funny. It would cost some 4 000 Crowns (that's our currency) in Slovakia which is about $120. Visit Slovakia - the dentists are good and the prices are friendlier (but the flight ticket would be too expensive I am afraid).
Reply:I don't know the average price.


I paid $362 for a crown of a molar.


It would have been $466 total if a "buildup" had been necessary.


These figures are for "my portion" of the costs, the remainder was covered by my dental insurance.
Reply:A crown cost 750.00 at my dentist office and my insurance would pay half so that sounds about right!
Reply:Well, we don't know what kind of "discount" you're getting through your insurance, so how would WE know if your portion of the cost is "about right"?





In any case, is a post included/needed? Did the tooth in question have any work on it done before? Is the crown gonna be made of porcelain or gold?





The point I'm trying to make in asking YOU these questions?





The price of any crown depends on what you need done to the tooth itself besides the crown and/or what kind of material the crown is made of.
Reply:It depends on if it's a porcelain crown or silver crown. The prices vary. Call around to other dentist to check their prices.
