How much is a tooth replacement?

The cost of tooth replacement (clinically known as full crown) ranges from about three hundred dollars to two thousand dollars depending on the material (including metal, porcelain or all-ceramic crown). 1. Metal crowns: mainly used for restorative treatment of posterior teeth because the metal material affects the aesthetics of the anterior teeth; they are strong and durable, but metal crowns cannot be used for MRI; they cost about three hundred dollars a piece, which is relatively low. 2. Porcelain crowns: made of outer layer of porcelain material and inner layer of metal material, taking into account the aesthetics and practicality of prosthetic restoration, front and back teeth can choose porcelain crowns for restoration; however, porcelain crowns are prone to chipping and can’t carry out the situation of MRI; its cost is about one thousand dollars, compared with the metal crowns are slightly higher. 3. All-ceramic crowns: the denture as a whole is made of ceramic material, closer to the color and texture of natural teeth; however, the toughness of all-ceramic crowns is relatively poor, easy to collapse, mainly for aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth or back teeth with relatively small chewing force; the cost of its material and process characteristics, its cost is relatively high about two thousand dollars. The price of full crown is also affected by the geographical area and the level of the hospital, so it is recommended to consult the front desk of the hospital.
