What Determines the Cost of a Crown?
At Radiant Dental Arts, we offer a range of porcelain crowns, but depending on the tooth's location, aesthetic goals, and your dental benefits, we may recommend other materials. While we commonly refer to these as “porcelain” crowns, we typically use stronger, more durable materials like Zirconia or Ceramic for most cases, ensuring both a perfect fit and outstanding aesthetics.
The cost of a crown in San Diego can vary based on several factors, including your dental benefits, the materials used, and the time required to complete your treatment. For patients without insurance, we offer an in-house benefits plan that can save you up to 20% on certain procedures.
To get a general idea of crown costs in your area, you can visit Fair Health Consumer and enter the procedure codes D2740 and D2750 for price comparisons.
The approximate out-of-pocket cost for a crown in the San Diego 92130 zip code is $1,834. If you have PPO insurance, you can anticipating paying between $550 to $950 depending on your covered benefits and patient portion outlined by your benefits plan.
Our Process: Dental crown procedure
Step One: Tooth Examination and Preparation
The process begins with a thorough examination of the affected tooth. Your dentist will carefully remove any decay and clean the area. Afterward, the tooth is shaped and prepared to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for the new crown.
Step Two: Impressions for a Custom Fit
Next, your dentist or dental assistant will take a precise physical or digital impression of your prepared tooth. This impression serves as a detailed model, ensuring that your crown fits perfectly and comfortably when placed.
Step Three: Temporary Crown and Lab Preparation
Once your tooth is prepped, your dentist will place a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being created. The dentist then sends all the necessary design specifications and aesthetic details to the lab, where your custom crown will be crafted to fit your tooth perfectly.
Step Four: Placement and Final Adjustments
Once your custom crown is ready, your dentist will carefully place it on your tooth and check for the perfect fit and alignment. The dentist will also ensure that your bite (occlusion) is properly adjusted for comfort and function.
Zirconia Porcelain Crowns
Zirconia is our crown of choice due to its exceptional durability and strong bond strength. Known as the hardest ceramic in the dental industry, zirconia crowns offer both reliability and longevity.
When opting for a zirconia crown, we will provide a sturdy temporary crown while your digital impression is sent to a local lab for fabrication. The usual turnaround time is 7-10 days, ensuring a quick and efficient process. Zirconia is also available under popular brand names like Bruxzir, Katana, and Lava, all offering high-quality results.

Invisalign
Invisalign is the most well-known brand of clear aligners on the market. While there are great alternatives to Invisalign, the predictability, reputation, and strong brand identity makes it the most popular option for many patients. Invisalign straightens your teeth without the use of metal wires or brackets by using a series of clear removable aligners. Each set of aligners is usually worn for 1 week, at least 22 hours a day, except for eating, brushing, and flossing. Your teeth will progressively move – little by little, week by week – as you replace each aligner in the sequence until they have straightened to the final position. You’ll come back to the office every couple of weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and to make necessary adjustments depending on the treatment plan. Duration of treatment will vary based on the number of trays needed to obtain the desired outcome. Treatment can take anywhere from 3 months to over a year. Once treatment is completed you will receive retainers to help keep your teeth in a desired position.
What can Invisalign treat?
- Invisalign can be used to close gaps and spaces between teeth
- Invisalign straightens teeth
- Invisalign can correct your bite
- Invisalign improves overall aesthetics
How much does Invisalign cost?
- The cost of Invisalign starts at $4,500 and can go up. Price is determined by the number of aligners and total length of treatment.
Is Invisalign covered by my dental insurance?
It depends on your individual plan. We recommend looking at your benefits to determine if orthodontics is a covered benefit. From what we have seen, many PPO plans do have orthodontic benefits, usually 50% of the contracted fee. Since Invisalign is considered optional, your plan will likely require you to pay the difference.
