Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

How much is the average cost of replacing the existing 27 crowns because they have improper margins and are not seated properly?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your complaint and understood your problem.

The cost of the crown depends on the type of crown you want.

For replacing the crown, you have to pay the same amount as you have paid before. If your crown is under some warranty, then only the cost will be less, or it might be free of cost. I would like to tell you that as it is a molar tooth, the most important thing that has to be considered is the strength of the cap, as molars have to take all the forces of chewing. You can go for porcelain fused to metal (metal ceramic crown) in which there is a thin layer of metal inside and a layer of tooth-colored ceramic or porcelain layer outside so that it gives a look of a natural tooth and also has strength due to metal inside. There is another option which is an all-ceramic crown that contains only ceramic and no metal and has a better appearance due to no metal and good strength too. But if you ask me my suggestion, I suggest you go for the metal-ceramic type of crown. It is less cost as compared to all ceramic caps as well as have high strength, and is able to take heavy chewing forces.

Any further queries are welcome.

Hope this information helps.

Kind regards.
