Dental crowns
are used for both cosmetic and restorative purposes. These versatile restorations can be used to protect and restore teeth that have been damaged by chips, cracks, decay, or teeth that are misshapen or badly discolored. Crowns are also used to replace missing teeth, cover and strengthen teeth with fillings, and cap teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy.. If Dr. Martirosyan recommends a crown for your tooth, we will explain our dental crowns cost in Glendale.
Before placing a crown, the tooth will need to be prepared. This is usually done under local anesthesia. Any diseased tissue is removed, and the tooth is shaped. Dr. Martirosyan will ensure the tooth is strong and healthy enough for the crown. Some patients may need a post or crown lengthening procedure to make sure the tooth provides adequate support. These additional procedures will be included in the dental crowns cost in Glendale. Once your tooth is prepared, we will take a dental impression that will serve as the model for your new crown.
Dental insurance will often cover part or all of our dental crowns cost in Glendale. Crowns are typically considered a major dental treatment. Dr. Martirosyan and our team accept most forms of dental insurance and will work with you to maximize your coverage. Your copayment and coinsurance may vary based on your plan. If you have an FSA or HSA, you can use these for your out-of-pocket costs. Low- or no-interest financing may also be available for qualified patients.
Several things will be included in your final cost, including the exam, the X-rays and other imaging tests, the root canal if needed, the temporary crown, the preparation of the tooth, and the dental crown itself. Once your crown is in place, it can last 10 years or longer with good care. Brush the crown and floss around it just like you do your other teeth to reduce the risk of decay in the tooth under the crown.
