Understanding Dental Crown Prices
A dental crown is what your dentist will recommend to save a tooth that has a large decay, fracture, or cavity. If there is a previous dental infection, a crown is advised after getting a root canal treatment — you can review our root canal cost in Vancouver.
Crowns improve the longevity of your tooth. They improve the strength of the existing tooth structure so you can use it for daily functions such as when you eat. It also enhances the appearance of your tooth making it more comfortable for you to smile, talk, and laugh.
There are a lot of factors that go into the pricing of a dental crown. The most significant one is the material for your restoration. With advancements in dental technology, crowns can now be made with all-porcelain or zirconia material. These look more natural and are more durable compared to the standard metal-porcelain material. But these benefits will come at a higher cost. For broader context on pricing, see why dental care can be expensive.
Aside from this, here are other things you should know about the cost of crowns in Vancouver.
Factors that Determine the Cost of a Crown
- Crown Material: Traditional crowns are made from porcelain and metal. But if you want superior esthetics, you can consider an all-porcelain material. Zirconia can also be recommended for improved strength. These higher material standards can increase the price.
- Crown Build-up: If there is too little tooth structure left, a build-up is necessary to help support the crown. This is an additional cost on top of the crown itself.
- Crown Removal: Also, if you have an existing dental crown, your dentist will have to remove it first before getting a new one done. This is another expense on your end that will increase the total cost. Learn more about replacing a dental crown.

Dr. Christopher Low, an experienced dentist based in Kitsilano, established his roots in this community alongside his wife and family. Dr. Low, a native of Victoria, British Columbia, embarked on his academic journey by pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at the University of Victoria, successfully earning his degree in 2003.
Following his undergraduate pursuits, Dr. Low's fascination with the realm of biological sciences initially led him toward a career in academia. He started his professional journey at the BC Cancer Research Centre, where he conducted pioneering research in prostate cancer. This period of scholarly engagement culminated in the completion of a Master's degree in Oncology from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2010.
Subsequently, Dr. Low's evolving interest in clinical practice prompted him to further his education, culminating in him earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from UBC in 2014. This academic achievement was complemented by a year-long general practice residency at Montefiore Medical Centre in the Bronx, New York. During this pivotal phase of his career, Dr. Low gained invaluable experience across the spectrum of general dentistry, including the management of emergency dental cases.
Beyond his professional endeavours, Dr. Low can often be found outdoors amidst the picturesque landscapes of our local mountains, indulging in activities such as mountain biking and snowboarding. When not pursuing his adventurous passions, he dedicates cherished moments to his family life in the city, enjoying quality time with his wife Julia and actively engaging with their lively 6-year-old son, Theo, and their 2-year-old daughter, Georgia
