How much is the going fee for a crown?

Crown prices vary between clinics. Fees are dependent on a range of factors. From our own research, Sydney metro prices range between $1100 - $2200. We provide same week crowns for $1,500 and same day crowns for $1,750. Clinical studies show the average life of a crown to be around 10 years. In this regard, our crowns would be on average $150/year (same week crowns), or $175/ year (same day crowns).

If you have private health insurance with major dental cover a portion of the fee will be paid by your health fund. The price displayed above does not include health fund coverage. For example, if your health fund covers $800, and you opted for Same Week Crowns ($1500), then what you would pay is $700 for the crown treatment. This is also known as the gap payment.

Do I need it now? How long can I delay this?

Your dental professional has recommended crown treatment. Reasons can be due to diseased tooth structure, cracked teeth, leaking fillings and many more. As with many latent health conditions, the diagnosis of a problem is not accompanied by symptoms. That is, you may not be currently experiencing any pain.

If left untreated your tooth will be exposed to the ingress of oral bacteria. They enter the tooth from the oral cavity, work its way inwards, all the way into the “nerve” of the tooth (known as root canals). Should this happen, you will need root canal therapy in addition to crown treatment. This is totally preventable, and therefore our advice has always been to follow the instructions of your health professional.

How much will my health insurance cover?

Crowns fall into “Major Dental” category of health insurance policy. It is important that your policy is covered for Major Dental. Our practices are equipped with an electronic terminal which can process a quotation for your particular health insurance. Come in and talk to us. Make sure to bring your physical health fund card with you as the terminal only accepts swiping physical cards.

Alternatively, you can call your health insurance for a quote. As a general rule, you can ask your health insurance for coverage over Item 613 - Non-Metallic Crowns. Please note, in some cases there will be other item codes necessary. Speak with us if you are unsure.

Where will my crown be made?

Everything is made in house by ABC Dental. For same week crowns, our laboratory is based in the heart of Sydney CBD. If you opt for same day crowns, crowns are made at the practice by your dentist.

Do you match preferred provider fees?

Yes, we can match preferred provider pricing. As a clinic with multiple locations across Sydney, we believe in offering transparent pricing and fairness in fees to all our patients. We believe It should cost no more to have your care with ABC Dental
