How much does it cost to get permanent dental crowns, and which type should choose?

The cost of getting permanent dental crowns is a concern for many customers who want to prepare their finances well. Permanent dental crowns are a crucial need to replace part or all of the teeth lost for various reasons, with the hope that the new teeth will look natural, be durable, and, most importantly, not affect their health.

1. Q&A: How much does it cost to get permanent dental crowns? 

Currently, there are two popular methods for permanent dental restoration: dental bridges and implant placement. Each method has the following costs:

1.1 Cost of permanent dental crowns using a bridge 

Fixed dental bridges (or dental bridges) involve restoring one or more missing teeth by reshaping the two adjacent teeth to serve as support. The dentist then attaches a crown (ceramic crown) on top of the reshaped teeth, along with a crown for the missing tooth, to fill the gap in the dental arch.

The cost of getting dental bridges depends on the number of crowns on the bridge, the type of crown chosen, and the dental clinic where the procedure is performed. Patients should consult with a dentist to understand their current condition, allowing for an appropriate solution and cost estimation for each specific case.

Below is the price list for permanent dental bridges at Elite Dental:

1.2 Cost of Permanent Porcelain Tooth Implantation

Permanent porcelain tooth implantation on  Implant is a method of restoring missing teeth by placing an Implant post (made of Titanium) into the jawbone. After a period of time allowing the Implant post to integrate with the bone, the dentist will attach a porcelain crown to form a complete tooth with a structure similar to a natural tooth (including both the tooth root and crown).

Implant placement is the most advanced method of porcelain tooth restoration available today and is highly recommended by many experts.

The cost of permanent tooth implantation on an Implant ranges from 26,000,000 to 325,000,000 VND, depending on the number of Implant teeth required, the restoration plan (single tooth or full arch), and the type of Implant post selected.

At Elite, the cost of Implant tooth implantation is all-inclusive, based on the listed price of the selected Implant post. Specifically, the details are as follows:

Additionally, to assess which permanent tooth restoration method is best, the following criteria should be considered:

Patient’s Health Condition
The porcelain dental bridge method involves grinding down natural teeth and affecting the tooth enamel, so it requires the patient’s enamel to be in good health. Weak enamel increases the risk of tooth decay and damage to the supporting teeth. On the other hand, permanent porcelain restoration on Implants preserves the jawbone to the maximum extent, eliminating concerns about bone resorption or gum recession. However, Implant-based restorations are not suitable for individuals under 17, those with mental disorders, heart disease, or blood clotting issues, among other conditions.

Durability
In terms of durability and quality, permanent porcelain restoration on Implants is considered the best, with the ability to restore chewing function up to 90% and improve aesthetics. Implant teeth can last indefinitely with proper care. In contrast, a porcelain dental bridge typically restores chewing function for a shorter period and lasts about 5 to 7 years.

Cost

When comparing costs, the porcelain dental bridge method is less expensive. In contrast, Implant placement tends to be more costly.

Overall, while there are several methods for tooth restoration, creating a complete new tooth with both root and crown that can function independently is best achieved with permanent Implant restoration. Permanent porcelain restoration on Implants is considered the most advanced and modern technology available today, chosen by many for various cases of tooth loss and for performing the procedure in a single visit. Implants can function independently without affecting neighboring teeth. This technique not only provides a beautiful smile and normal chewing function but also effectively prevents future jawbone resorption.

Moreover, with the durable Titanium material, the Implant post integrates well with the jawbone and does not cause any adverse biological effects on the body. The restored tooth can last between 10 to 20 years, or even indefinitely with proper care.

*Note: To ensure comprehensive results in both aesthetics and function, it is essential to choose a reputable clinic with highly skilled and experienced Implant specialists.

4. Other Related Questions

Below are answers to some additional questions regarding permanent porcelain tooth restoration that you may find useful:

4.1 What factors affect the cost of permanent porcelain tooth restoration?

The cost of permanent porcelain tooth restoration varies based on factors such as the material of the porcelain, the condition of the oral health, and the skill of the dentist as well as the medical equipment used. Therefore, opting for a skilled dentist at a reputable dental clinic with high-quality porcelain may result in a higher cost but ensures optimal final results.

4.2 Should I choose a low-cost permanent porcelain tooth restoration?

The answer is no, as using low-quality porcelain crowns can directly impact oral health. Specifically, poor-quality porcelain may oxidize, leading to dark edges along the gums, and bacteria can more easily attack and cause gum inflammation or gaps at the crown margin. Moreover, low-quality porcelain crowns are more prone to breaking, potentially damaging both the crown and natural teeth, and even resulting in permanent tooth loss.

4.3 Is there a warranty for porcelain tooth restoration?

Porcelain tooth restoration is covered by a warranty if performed at a reputable, large-scale dental clinic with high expertise. For example, at Elite Dental, when you undergo Implant placement, you receive reliable warranty coverage:

• Up to 10 years for Straumann (Switzerland) and European (Neodent) Implants, and 5 years for Korean Implants.
• The restoration on the Implant has a 5-year warranty.

4.4 Does Implant placement cause pain?

The level of pain associated with Implant placement depends on factors such as individual pain tolerance, the number of teeth being replaced, the technology used, and the expertise of the dental team and clinic. However, most patients experience minimal pain due to local or general anesthesia administered by the dentist. Post-treatment, patients might feel some pain or discomfort, but it is usually mild and manageable. This sensation will subside quickly with proper care as advised by the dentist.

4.5 How long does it take to place an Implant?

The time required for Implant placement depends on several factors, including the condition of the jawbone and individual oral health. Typically, tooth restoration with Implants involves two main stages: placing the Implant post and restoring with porcelain crowns. The process of placing the Implant post into the jawbone generally takes about 20 to 30 minutes per post (in cases where no bone grafting is required). In cases of full-arch tooth loss, the procedure may take longer due to the need for bone grafting.
