How much does a porcelain crown cost?
My total cost was $1100 for each (Cdn).. and no discount for doing multiple crowns... although I asked!!





I'd recommend veneers over crowns though... especially if you're doing ALL your teeth and it's only for cosmetic reasons! Crowns are not the healthiest or most cost-effective way give you a better smile.





If you just want whiter teeth, have you tried whitening strips or bleaching?
Reply:Why on earth would you want crowns on 20 teeth???





If you don't *need* the crowns, it's ridiculous to do so because you're taking away perfectly healthy tooth structure. Veneers, yes, but crowns? No. Bad idea. A lot of people experience sensitivity for years because the tooth is ground down to a little "nub". Good luck in finding a dentist who will do them for no good reason...unless he's just out to make a buck.
Reply:i am not sure these days and state to state but i can tell you that in 2001 i had insurance and i had 6 bridge crowns done in the front top and my part was over 5000 i am scared to price the other 5 i want done today its sad but they did offer a credit card plan there i just paid my part i didn't want the interest with it all
Reply:The price for veneers and crowns is almost same. You would be better off going to same dentist for your crowns as well since the price $500 he charged for veneers is very reasonable or rather lower than the national average if I may say so. No comments on why you need 20 crowns!
