Affordable Crown Replacement
$950 Flat. New or Replacement. No Difference.
Best Dental charges $950 flat for every dental crown. Whether it's your first crown on a tooth or a replacement for a failing one. No premium for replacement cases. No upcharge for switching materials (replacing an old PFM with zirconia, for example, is still $950).

Crowns don't last forever. Most last 10-15 years. Zirconia and gold crowns can last 20+ years. Here are the most common signs a crown replacement is needed:
Yes. Most PPO dental plans cover crown replacements as a major restorative procedure at 50% after your deductible, subject to one key rule: most plans require a minimum of 5 years between crown placements on the same tooth before covering a replacement. If your original crown was placed less than 5 years ago, your insurance likely won't cover a replacement regardless of the reason.
Getting a crown replacement at Best Dental follows the same two-appointment process as a new crown. Visit 1: Dr. Jasmine Naderi removes the old crown, evaluates the underlying tooth for any new decay or structural issues, and takes impressions for your $950 replacement crown. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent replacement is fabricated at the lab. Visit 2 (1-2 weeks later): your new crown is cemented in place.
The total cost is $950 flat. The same price regardless of material, and the same price whether this is your first crown or a replacement. If the underlying tooth has developed new decay under the old crown, it will be treated before the replacement is placed. Any build-up needed is included in the $950 flat fee. No add-on prep fees.
