  5. Why Do Dental Crown Prices Vary Between Clinics? About Smilux?

Dental crowns are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their ability to quickly improve both aesthetics and chewing function. However, many patients feel confused when the same “dental crown” is quoted at very different prices across clinics, ranging from a few million to tens of millions of VND.

You need to understand that the cost of dental crowns is not determined solely by the crown itself. It also depends on material quality, technology, the dentist’s expertise, and long-term warranty policies. The article below will help you clearly understand the true reasons behind these differences, so you can make the right, sufficient, and worry-free decision.

How Much Do Dental Crowns Cost Today?

In today’s market, dental crown costs usually vary by material type:

  • Metal-ceramic crowns: approximately 1 – 3 million VND per tooth
  • Standard all-ceramic crowns: approximately 3 – 6 million VND per tooth
  • Premium crowns such as Cercon, DDBio, Lava Plus: from 7 – 15 million VND per tooth or more

These prices may vary depending on the dental clinic, applied technology, and each patient’s actual oral condition. Therefore, comparing dental crown prices should always be considered within the overall treatment context, including crown quality, fabrication accuracy, and long-term safety for natural teeth.

Why Do Dental Crown Prices Differ Between Clinics?

Crown Materials

The first and most important factor affecting price is the material used to fabricate the crown.

  • Metal-ceramic crowns have lower costs but may cause dark gum margins and limited translucency.
  • All-ceramic crowns are made from monolithic ceramic materials, offering natural translucency, biocompatibility, and superior aesthetics.
  • Premium ceramic lines such as Cercon, DDBio, and Lava Plus provide high strength and long-term color stability, making their higher cost reasonable.

Fabrication Technology

Not all dental crowns are made the same way. At Smilux, we use CAD/CAM technology to design fully customized crowns based on each patient’s tooth anatomy. This ensures high precision, excellent marginal fit, and minimized gaps – a critical factor for long-lasting crowns and preventing future gum inflammation.

Dentist’s Expertise

A beautiful dental crown depends not only on materials but also on the dentist’s skill and experience. An experienced dentist will:

  • Prepare teeth with correct proportions while preserving natural tooth structure
  • Design tooth shapes that harmonize with facial features
  • Adjust occlusion accurately for comfortable, long-term chewing

These are “invisible values” that directly impact the lifespan of dental crowns. Learn more about the service here: https://smilux.vn/en/all-ceramic-crown-service-hcmc/

    Are Low-Cost Dental Crowns Good?

    In reality, low-cost dental crowns are not necessarily bad, but they are only suitable for certain cases.

    Common risks when choosing overly cheap dental crowns include:

    • Thick crowns requiring excessive tooth reduction
    • Incorrect bite alignment, leading to jaw fatigue
    • Poor marginal fit, increasing the risk of gum inflammation

    For patients who prioritize long-term aesthetics, durability, and peace of mind, investing in the right type of dental crown delivers better value over time.

In some cases, standard all-ceramic crowns are more than sufficient, while others may require German, Italian, or American dental crowns to ensure long-term durability, aesthetics, and safety for natural teeth.
