How Much Are Gold Dental Crowns?
Gold dental crowns are one of the most durable crown materials available. While less common today, they remain an excellent choice for back teeth. Cost depends on the gold alloy, tooth location, and your insurance.
Gold Crown Cost Overview
Gold dental crowns typically cost $800–$2,500 per tooth without insurance. With insurance, many plans cover crowns at 50% of the allowed amount after the deductible.
Gold vs. Porcelain vs. Zirconia
Gold crowns are exceptionally durable with a lifespan of 20–30+ years and require minimal tooth reduction. Porcelain and zirconia crowns match tooth color and are preferred for visible teeth.
- Gold: most durable, minimal tooth reduction, not tooth-colored
- PFM: tooth-colored with metal base, strong
- Zirconia: tooth-colored, very strong, great for back teeth
- All-ceramic: most natural appearance, ideal for front teeth
