COST GUIDE · AL RIGGA, DUBAI
How Much Does a Dental Crown Cost in Dubai?
There is no single price for a dental crown in Dubai. The cost depends mainly on the crown material, which tooth is being treated and whether the tooth needs any work before the crown is fitted. At Best Dentist in Al Rigga, your check-up is free and you get the full price before anything starts.
What affects the cost of a dental crown
- Crown material. This usually makes the biggest difference. Crowns can be made from zirconia, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal, and each is priced differently.
- Which tooth. Front teeth need a natural look, while back teeth need extra strength for chewing. The right material for the tooth affects the price.
- Work needed before the crown. A tooth may need root canal treatment, a core build-up to rebuild what is missing, or gum treatment first. These are separate treatments with their own cost.
- X-rays. An X-ray shows the root and the bone around the tooth, so the dentist can plan the crown properly.
- Number of crowns. Treating several teeth changes the total.
- Your insurance. Many dental plans cover part of crown treatment. We accept insurance and can check your cover and direct billing before you start.
Crown materials compared
| Material | Often chosen for | Appearance | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zirconia | Back teeth and heavy biting | Tooth-coloured | Very strong |
| Porcelain | Front teeth | The most natural look | Strong enough for front teeth |
| Porcelain fused to metal | Front or back teeth | Tooth-coloured over a metal base | Strong |
Your dentist recommends the material that suits the tooth and explains the price of each suitable option before you choose.
What is included in crown treatment
Crowns are usually completed in two visits:
- 01
Examination and X-ray
- 02
The tooth is shaped and measured
- 03
A temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent crown is made
- 04
The permanent crown is fitted and checked for fit, bite and colour
- 05
Bite check and follow-up
Crown or filling?
A filling is usually enough for a small cavity. A crown may be recommended when too little natural tooth is left for a filling, after root canal treatment on a back tooth, or when a tooth is cracked. A crown covers and protects the whole tooth, and with good care crowns commonly last 10–15 years or longer.
