What it is
A porcelain or ceramic crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged, weakened or root-canal-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength. It usually takes two visits, or one visit when the office mills the crown on site.
What the price covers
The fee usually covers tooth preparation, impressions or a digital scan, the dental lab's work, a temporary crown and cementing the final crown. A core buildup, root canal, X-rays and exam are billed under their own codes.
