But the average cost is $800-$1800. If you have dental insurance, your insurance company can provide you with the average cost of a crown in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about an\nAffordable Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of a dental crown is to protect a tooth. Several steps are\ninvolved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your natural tooth must be precisely shaved to\nensure the crown covers it.<\/li><li>Accurate impressions of your natural tooth need\nto be taken to ensure the crown fits and doesn\u2019t disturb adjacent teeth.<\/li><li>The crown must be correctly bonded to your\nnatural tooth to ensure it is stable and doesn\u2019t hurt when you bite down. <\/li><li>The way your teeth fit together\u2014your bite\u2014must be\nproperly measured.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your goal is to find an affordable dentist, your choice should not be based solely on cost. If a dentist takes shortcuts or gives you a cheap crown, the results can be costly in time, your oral health, and money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"538\" height=\"164\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/porcelain-crowns-plano-tx.jpg\" alt=\"Before-and-after photos of porcelain crowns, which are available from Plano, TX dentist Dr. Miranda Lacy.\" class=\"wp-image-1031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/porcelain-crowns-plano-tx.jpg 538w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/porcelain-crowns-plano-tx-300x91.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><figcaption>An affordable crown should still look natural<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mce_6\">What Are the Risks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> A cheap dental crown can result in several problems, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Your bite<\/strong> &#8211; If your bite is off, it can put too much pressure on the crown and cause it to crack. You\u2019ll have to spend time and money getting another crown.<\/li><li><strong>Complications<\/strong> &#8211; TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can result from can bite can cause jaw, head, ear, and neck pain. TMJ treatment can include therapy and a nighttime mouthguard, both of which will cause additional expense.<\/li><li><strong>Improper bonding<\/strong> &#8211; &nbsp;If proper bonding techniques are not used, the crown can come off. The crown can be lost, or you\u2019ll need an additional appointment for re-bonding. You could need a new crown.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t act hastily. Ask friends and family members for a recommendation of a dentist. Many people have dental crowns, and someone you know might have received a quality crown from a skilled dentst. An affordable dentist will work with your budget through payment plans or financing to ensure you can pay for treatment. But avoid cheap dentistry. It puts your oral health at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/meet-dr-lacy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Plano, TX female dentist Dr. Miranda Lacy (opens in a new tab)\">Plano, TX female dentist Dr. Miranda Lacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dental crown protects a badly damaged tooth.
