Understanding the Cost of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are "caps" that cover a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. The cost can vary significantly based on the material used.

Types of Crowns

  • Porcelain: Best for front teeth due to natural appearance.
  • Zirconia: Extremely durable, great for back teeth that endure heavy chewing.
  • Metal/Gold: The strongest option, though less aesthetically pleasing.

At Lilac Dental, we help you choose the material that balances aesthetics, durability, and budget.
