Affordable Crowns Without Cutting Corners
Insurance maximized, financing available, FSA/HSA eligible, and the same quality regardless of how you pay.
Material Options for Every Budget
PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns start at $800 and offer the most affordable durable option. Zirconia and full-porcelain crowns cost more ($1,000 to $1,700) but look more natural. Dr. Bhatia explains the trade-offs and helps you choose the right material for each tooth based on appearance, durability, and budget.
Insurance Maximized, Not Just Accepted
Most PPO plans cover crowns at 50% after deductible. We verify your benefits, file the claim, and make sure you get every dollar of coverage you are entitled to. For patients with multiple crowns needed, we stage treatment across calendar years to use multiple annual insurance maximums.
$0 Down Financing With Real 0% Periods
Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and LendingClub each offer $0 down financing for qualified patients. Promotional 0% interest periods range from 6 to 24 months. Pay over 12, 24, 36, or 60 months on terms that fit your monthly budget. We help you find the best fit at your consultation.
FSA and HSA Eligible
Dental crowns are a qualifying medical expense for both FSA and HSA accounts. Using pre-tax dollars effectively reduces your cost by 20% to 30% depending on your tax bracket. We provide receipts and documentation needed for reimbursement.
Free Consultations With No Pressure
Dr. Bhatia provides honest evaluations and explains every option, including when a less expensive treatment (large filling, onlay, observation) might work instead of a crown. You leave with a written treatment plan and exact pricing, no surprises and no high-pressure sales.
Same Quality Regardless of How You Pay
Whether your insurance covers most of the cost, you are paying out of pocket, or you are financing the work, you get the same quality crown made by the same dental lab using the same materials. Affordable does not mean cheaper materials at our office.
Crown Options and Pricing
Material options for every budget plus insurance and financing to bring the cost down.
PFM Crowns (From $800)
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are the most affordable durable option, typically $800 to $1,200. Strong, long-lasting, and a good choice for back teeth where appearance is less critical. Often closer to the lower end of the price range.
Learn moreZirconia Crowns (From $1,000)
Zirconia crowns are nearly indestructible and tooth-colored. The best value for back teeth that take heavy bite force. Typically $1,000 to $1,500, usually well within the affordable range with insurance and financing.

Most PPO dental plans cover crowns at 50% as a major procedure. We verify your benefits and apply them to reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Many patients only pay $400 to $750 out-of-pocket after insurance.

Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and LendingClub each offer financing options. Many qualify for $0 down with promotional 0% interest periods. Pay over 12 to 60 months on terms that fit your budget.
Learn moreHow We Make Crowns Affordable
The main lever for making crowns affordable is choosing the right material for each tooth. A back molar that takes heavy chewing force and is hidden behind the cheek does not need a $1,700 full-porcelain crown. A PFM crown at $800 does the same job. For visible front teeth where appearance matters more, a zirconia or full-porcelain crown is worth the extra cost. Dr. Bhatia helps you make these calls tooth by tooth.
The second lever is using your insurance fully. Most PPO plans cover crowns at 50% after deductible, often capping at your annual maximum ($1,500 to $2,500 per year for most plans). If you need multiple crowns, we stage treatment across calendar years so you use multiple annual maximums and keep your out-of-pocket cost down.
The third lever is financing. Cherry and Sunbit offer soft credit checks (no impact to your score) and approve most patients for $0 down. Promotional 0% interest periods of 6 to 24 months mean you can pay the crown off over time without extra cost. For longer terms, monthly payments are often $30 to $60 per month per crown, which fits most household budgets.

How much does an affordable dental crown cost in Anaheim Hills?
Our most affordable crowns are PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) starting at $800 per tooth. Zirconia and full-porcelain crowns are $1,000 to $1,700. Most PPO insurance covers crowns at 50%, bringing the out-of-pocket cost down to $400 to $850 per crown for many patients. We verify your benefits and provide exact pricing before treatment.
What is the cheapest type of dental crown?
PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns are the most affordable durable option at $800 to $1,200. They have a metal base for strength with porcelain on the outside for a tooth-colored appearance. They are an excellent choice for back teeth where the metal will not show. Full metal (gold) crowns can be even cheaper but are rarely chosen for cosmetic reasons today.
Does insurance cover dental crowns?
Most PPO dental insurance plans cover crowns at 50% as a major procedure (after your deductible). HMO plans typically have a fixed copay structure. Coverage usually requires that the crown is medically necessary, meaning to restore a damaged or weakened tooth. Cosmetic crowns purely for appearance are not usually covered. We verify your specific benefits before treatment.
Can I finance a dental crown?
Yes. We offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and LendingClub. Many patients qualify for $0 down with promotional 0% interest if paid within 6 to 24 months. For longer terms (24 to 60 months), monthly payments are often $30 to $60 per month for a single crown. We help you choose the best financing fit at your consultation.
Do I really need a crown, or can I get a filling instead?
It depends on how much of the tooth is damaged. If 50% or more of the tooth is missing or compromised, a filling will not hold long-term and a crown is needed. For less damage, a large filling or an inlay/onlay (typically $400 to $900) may work. Dr. Bhatia evaluates each tooth and tells you honestly which option is right, including when a less expensive treatment is appropriate.
What happens if I cannot afford a crown right now?
Several options. First, we can place a temporary filling to buy you time. Second, we can stage the work, treating the most urgent tooth first and others later. Third, financing through Cherry or CareCredit can spread the cost over 12 to 60 months with low monthly payments. The one thing we do not recommend is doing nothing, as untreated damaged teeth get worse and more expensive over time.
Are cheap dental crowns from overseas worth it?
Dental tourism for crowns ($300 to $600 in Mexico or other countries) may save money upfront, but consider the hidden costs: travel expenses, time off work, no follow-up care if there are problems, and potential quality variation. Local crowns with warranties from a U.S. lab tend to be the better long-term value. With our financing, the monthly cost is often comparable.
How long do affordable dental crowns last?
Dental crowns at any price point typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last 20+ years with good care. The material and placement quality matter much more than price for longevity. A PFM crown placed well lasts as long as a full-porcelain crown. See our guide on how long dental crowns last for full lifespan details by material.
