Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that covers or "caps" a damaged or decayed tooth. They are typically made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of both materials. Dental crowns can be used to improve the strength, appearance, and function of a tooth.
The cost of a dental crown can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of material used, the location of the tooth, and the dentist's fees. In general, porcelain crowns are more expensive than metal crowns, and crowns for molars are more expensive than crowns for front teeth. The average cost of a dental crown ranges from $1,000 to $3,000.
