Cost Savings

Half the cost of the average crown—no hidden fees and no "upsell" tactics

Dentist-designed from start to finish.

How it works:

  1. Your tooth is scanned with the industry-leading digital scanner.
  2. A custom crown is designed by the dentist.
  3. Your crown is milled from a solid block of strong zirconia ceramic, all in our office.
  4. The dentist checks for fit and aesthetics, then permanently cements the crown during the same visit.

Looks and acts like a real tooth

Many conventional crowns have metal that can show a dark line at the gum. Our zirconia crowns are metal-free and designed to look and act like the real thing.

FAQ

Financial & Insurance

What are the fees in your office?
We are as straightforward as possible with our fees. $50 for the initial exam which goes towards the treatment cost if you proceed with us. $799 per crown whether that is one crown, or a full mouth. No charge for build ups, bite adjustments, recementing our crown within 1 year of placement. No charge re-make if our crown breaks.

How is it that these crowns are so cheap?

Our dentists have thought for years how to provide crowns efficiently without sacrificing quality.

  • We do the labwork in-house, cutting out the middle man
  • By exclusively providing crowns, it reduces our overhead cost for extra staff and materials that a general dental office would need
  • We are out of network with all insurance companies, and our patients with PPO insurance file their own claims. This saves us the overhead of dealing with insurance, and we pass the savings onto you

Thankfully, we don't need to cut corners on materials or equipment

Are you an in-network Dental Provider?
No, but our price beats almost all in-network dental offices! If you have PPO dental insurance, you can still come see us – we will provide you with the paperwork to submit your own insurance claim. This means more leg work on your end, but this is one of the many reasons our prices are so low, even saving money over the in-network dental office.

I have PPO insurance, can I still get reimbursed from my insurance?
Yes! After your treatment, we will hand you the proper paperwork to file your own insurance claim.

Once I submit my insurance, how much will I get back?

Many patients receive between $200-$400 back if you file the claim correctly. An accurate estimate on your reimbursement depends on a lot of factors including:

  • Are you over your annual maximum?
  • Does your maximum reset in January or a different month?
  • Has that tooth had dental work done on it recently?
  • If you've had a crown on that tooth already, does your insurance require a waiting period until another crown can be done (replacement clause)?
  • Have you paid your deductible this year?
  • Do they compensate at 50% or a different percent?
  • Does your insurance have a waiting period after you start with them before they cover a crown?
  • They may not accept the diagnosis for needing a crown?
  • Is it just for aesthetics in their opinion?
  • There are many other factors that can change the reimbursement.

Our staff are not equipped to contact your insurance and help you with any of these details. But feel free to use your favorite online resource for help. As a last resort, you can call your insurance provider for help with the claim. But they make this difficult on purpose.

I have PPO insurance, how do I file my claim?
Our staff is not equipped to call your insurance and file for you. We will give you the insurance claim pre-filled out with your insurance company name, the procedure that we did, and the attached x-rays. The rest is up to you to send it to your insurance. The Crown Clinic is not responsible for errors in insurance claim submission or for the amount of reimbursement you receive.

How does billing work at your office?
You pay for services after you receive them. Cash, card, or contactless payments only. No checks, money orders, or payment plans.

Clinical & Procedure

What are all the steps from start to finish to get my crown?
  1. All new patients need to fill out Medical History and Registration paperwork. It will save time to complete these prior.
  2. You will be directed to watch a short introductory video that answers the most common questions. Afterwards, our friendly staff can answer any additional questions you may have.
  3. Initial exam/diagnosis. Patients who schedule ahead will be given priority, but walk-ins are welcome. There is a $50 charge for the exam, but this charge will be applied to treatment you receive from us. Note: we are not a full service dental office, so the exam will be limited to the tooth/teeth that need crowns.
  4. Once the exam is completed and you have a diagnosis for a crown, we will schedule you for treatment. This is usually within a few days to a few weeks from the initial exam.
  5. Treatment visit. Your crown/crowns will be completed on the same day as your treatment day.

Do you have a late fee or a no-show fee?
Yes, the Crown Clinic no-show fee is $400 per crown on the schedule. For example, if you no-show a visit for 4 crowns, the fee would be $1600. In order to keep costs low for you, we keep an efficient schedule for our dentists and our staff. We ask you to respect the other patients' time and our staff's time by showing up on time or giving us more than 24 business hours' notice. *If you are more than 15 minutes late for your treatment appointment, it will be considered a no-show. *It is considered a no-show if you cancel with less than 24 business hours' notice (for example, cancelling at 4pm on a Friday for an 8am Monday appointment is only 1 business hours' notice).

Will my tooth need a root canal?
If your tooth has deep decay, biting sensitivity and/or pain, it may need a root canal prior to a crown. We can refer you to an endodontist if indicated after the initial exam. Your tooth may need a root canal AFTER a crown with us, even if there was no pain initially. Sometimes a tooth nerve does not survive the stress of the crown procedure. Fortunately, this is uncommon. If it does occur, our crowns are strong enough to endure a root canal without needing replacement of the crown.

Can I bring in a treatment plan from my regular dental office?
Yes you may. Whether you have an existing plan or not, we will need to have our own exam/diagnosis as is the standard for any dental office.

Will my crown color match my other teeth/crowns?
For the majority of our crowns, yes they look like teeth! However, no dentist-made crown will match a neighbouring tooth or older crown perfectly. You may notice a difference under certain lighting conditions, especially for a single front tooth crown. If you require a closer match than what we provide, or if you have a high cosmetic need, we suggest that you see another dentist who can provide a custom stain match partnered with a porcelain lab.

Do you offer sedation?
Yes, for mild anxiety we offer nitrous oxide gas for $200. This takes the edge off for most people with a low level of anxiety, but does not put you to sleep. If you have severe anxiety, we recommend you see a general dental office that can accommodate more levels of sedation to fit your needs.

Warranty & Aftercare

What should I expect after my crown procedure?
The numbness typically wears off in an hour or so, but could take more in some cases. You can expect some soreness at the injections site and possible cold sensitivity and biting sensitivity that can last a few days to a few weeks. You may have jaw tightness and soreness, otherwise known as trismus. This can last for months in rare cases, but is quickly improved with at-home exercises that we can teach you. In most cases the bite returns to normal after a couple days, but if your bite feels off and does not settle after a few days, please come back in for an adjustment. There are 2 free bite adjustments per treatment.

Any special instructions for my new crown/s?
Your Crown Clinic zirconia is ready for use! Wait one hour for the cement to cure fully. After that hour (and after full feeling has returned from the local anesthetic) you may use the crown like a normal tooth. Normal chewing is fine, and brush and floss that same night.

What is the lifetime warranty?
The full text of the warranty can be found here: In a nut shell: if your crown ever breaks, we'll replace it for free. If the tooth or crown fails due to anything outside of our control, the warranty does not apply. These factors include: decay, gum disease, tooth breaking off at the gumline, root fracture, etc.

The Lifetime Promise

We are so confident in our Zirconia materials and milling precision that we back every crown with a Lifetime Warranty. If it breaks, we replace it for free.*

  • Covered for breakage of the crown - lifetime
  • 1 year free recement
  • No warranty for factors outside our control: hygiene issues, tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, root fracture, etc.
