Understanding Your Treatment
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers a tooth that’s been weakened by decay, a large filling, a root canal, or a crack. Unlike a bridge or implant — which replace a tooth that’s already missing — a crown saves and protects a tooth that’s still there but structurally compromised.
Crowns are made from a few different materials, and the material you choose is one of the biggest factors in cost.
Crown Types and Typical Costs
| Crown Type | Typical Cost (Per Tooth) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Metal (gold or base metal alloy) | $800–$1,500 | Back molars, where strength matters more than appearance |
| Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) | $900–$1,700 | A balance of strength and a natural look |
| All-Ceramic / All-Porcelain | $1,200–$2,200 | Front teeth, where a natural, tooth-colored match matters most |
Final pricing depends on your specific tooth and insurance coverage — call (346) 571-7254 for a personalized estimate.

Signs You Might Need a Dental Crown
Not sure if a crown is actually what you need? Here are some common signs patients notice before they come in:
A cracked or fractured tooth. Even a small crack can weaken a tooth over time, and a crown can help hold it together and prevent further damage.
A large, old filling. If a filling takes up most of the tooth, there may not be enough natural structure left to support another filling. A crown can help protect what remains.
Pain when chewing or biting down. This can signal a crack, deep decay, or a tooth under stress. It’s worth getting checked before the problem worsens.
After a root canal. Root canal-treated teeth can become more brittle over time, so a crown is often recommended to provide additional protection.
Visible wear, chips, or a tooth that’s changed shape. This can happen with grinding or years of wear. A crown can restore both function and appearance.
If any of these sound familiar, the best next step is a quick exam. We can help determine whether a crown, filling, or another treatment is the right solution.

Cracked or Fallen-Off Crown? Emergency Repair Cost
A crown that’s cracked, loose, or has come off completely needs attention quickly to protect the tooth underneath. Our emergency dentistry team can evaluate same-day in most cases.
If the crown itself is intact and simply came loose, re-cementing it is often possible at a lower cost than a full replacement. If it’s cracked or the underlying tooth has changed, a new crown ($800–$2,200) is usually needed.

What Affects Your Final Price?
Every crown is different. Here’s what actually determines what you’ll pay.
Material
Metal crowns are generally the least expensive, while all-ceramic crowns typically cost more but offer the most natural-looking appearance.
Root canal or buildup
If your tooth needs additional treatment before the crown is placed, that will be a separate cost. We’ll explain everything clearly before treatment begins.
Your insurance plan
Many PPO dental plans cover around 50% of crown costs after the deductible. We’ll check your specific benefits so you understand your coverage before committing to treatment.
Location of the tooth
Molars handle more chewing pressure and may require a stronger, more durable crown material than front teeth.
No hidden fees. At Naba Dental, you’ll receive a written estimate before any treatment begins, showing exactly what your expected out-of-pocket cost will be.
Do You Take My Insurance?
We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans. If you’re not sure whether your plan is accepted, the fastest way to find out is to call us at (346) 571-7254. We’ll check your specific benefits before your visit, at no cost to you.
If you don’t have insurance, ask us about our in-house savings plan and flexible payment options, which may help

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental crowns last?
Most dental crowns last 10–15 years with normal care and may last longer with good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and proper care.
What’s the average cost of a crown without insurance in Houston?
At Naba Dental, an uninsured dental crown typically costs $800–$2,200, depending on the material selected. Metal crowns are generally at the lower end of the range, while all-ceramic crowns are typically at the higher end. Ask our team about our in-house savings plan if you’re uninsured.
How do I know if I need a crown or if a filling will work?
It depends on how much healthy natural tooth structure remains. A small area of decay may only require a filling, while a cracked tooth, a tooth with a large existing filling, or a tooth that has undergone a root canal may need a crown for additional protection.
Does dental insurance cover crowns?
Many PPO dental insurance plans may cover around 50% of the cost after your deductible is met, although coverage varies by plan. We’ll verify your specific benefits before your appointment to help you understand your expected costs.
How many visits does getting a crown take?
Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits. During the first visit, your dentist prepares the tooth, takes an impression or digital scan, and places a temporary crown. About 1–2 weeks later, you’ll return for the permanent crown to be fitted and placed.
Is getting a crown painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain while your tooth is being prepared. Mild sensitivity or discomfort for a few days afterward is common and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How much does a crown cost after a root canal?
Most root-canaled teeth, especially molars, need a crown afterward to prevent fracture. Combined, a root canal and crown typically total $1,500–$3,700: $700–$1,500 for the root canal, plus $800–$2,200 for the crown, depending on the tooth and crown material.
How much does a same-day CEREC crown cost?
Same-day crowns milled in-office are typically priced within the same $800–$2,200 range as traditional crowns, though not all materials are available same-day. Ask our team whether same-day crown technology is a fit for your specific tooth.
How much does it cost to replace or repair a crown?
A cracked, loose, or failing crown typically needs to be replaced rather than repaired, at a cost similar to a new crown, $800–$2,200 depending on material. Minor issues like a loose fit sometimes can be re-cemented at a lower cost — an exam will confirm which applies to your tooth.
Does a crown cost more for a molar than a front tooth?
Yes, molar crowns are often at the higher end of the $800–$2,200 range because they need to withstand more chewing force and sometimes require stronger materials, while front teeth crowns are chosen more for a natural appearance.
