About This Procedure
A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Common materials include porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
