Why are
dental crowns so expensive?
Dental crowns are so expensive, because dentists have to use modern techniques and materials. The materials are so expensive, because it is used as the natural teeth. Dental crowns are the same shape and color of the natural teeth. Dental crowns are used from expensive materials such as:
Stainless steel crown: It is used with permanent teeth as a temporary
measure to protect the teeth while the permanent crown is made from another
material. The stainless steel crown is commonly used in children as it is more
suitable than primary milk teeth. When the primary white teeth fall to make
room for the permanent teeth, the crown naturally comes out with it. In
general, the stainless steel crown is used for children's teeth because it does
not require multiple visits and less expensive.
Metal crown: Includes gold alloys and other alloys (palladium, nickel and
chromium). The metal crown bites, chews, and rarely brakes. The main disadvantage
of the metal crown is its glossy color so it is used in the back teeth.
The crown of porcelain above the metal: It is identical to the color of
the next teeth (unlike the crown of the metal). However, it causes erosion in
the opposite teeth compared to the crown of the metal or acrylic resin crown.
The porcelain crown above the metal appears in its appearance, like most normal
teeth. But sometimes the metal can appear as a dark line at the gum line and
more often if the gums are receding. A porcelain crown above the metal can be a
good choice for the front or rear teeth.
Crown Acrylic Resin: It is less expensive than other types of crowns and
is more likely to break over time.
Ceramic or porcelain crown: Its color appears as a natural tooth color and
is suitable for people with allergies from the metal crown. However, they are
not as strong as porcelain over metal and cause erosion of corresponding teeth.
The porcelain crown is a good choice for the front teeth.
Temporary crown: Made at the dentist's clinic. It is used temporarily
until the permanent dental crown is completed in the dental lab.
