Dental Crown Costs

Find out what a dental crown costs without insurance. See average pricing by material, Delta Dental and Humana coverage, and financing at TCD Madison.

Insurance Coverage for Crowns

Using Dental Insurance for a Crown

TCD Madison is in-network with Delta Dental and Humana, so your coverage stretches further than it would at an out-of-network office. Most private dental plans classify crowns as a major service rather than basic care, which usually means your insurer pays around 50% of the cost once you clear any waiting period. Waiting periods for major services can run anywhere from a few months to over a year, so it pays to check your plan before you need the work done.

Out-of-pocket Costs for a Dental Crown

Annual coverage caps on most dental plans fall between $1,000 and $2,500, and a single crown can use up a big chunk of that limit. If you've already had other major work done this year, or your plan maximum resets soon, your out-of-pocket cost for a crown could land anywhere from a few hundred dollars to the full price of the crown. Our team checks your Delta Dental or Humana benefits before your appointment, so you know your number ahead of time.

Paying for a Dental Crown Without Insurance

No insurance just means you're paying the full number instead of a share of it. Here's what that number typically looks like.

Average Cost of a Crown in Madison

According to national averages, a single crown without insurance runs $800 to $2,500, and the material makes the biggest difference in where you land. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns average around $1,100, all-ceramic and zirconia crowns average around $1,300, and metal crowns also average around $1,300. TCD Madison gives you a written estimate at your consultation based on the material your tooth actually needs, not a generic quote pulled from a price list.

Crowns & Restorative Dentistry at TCD Madison

TCD Madison has treated Madison-area families since 1972, and the practice holds a 4.7-star rating across more than 100 Google reviews. Patients who feel anxious about dental work often mention how the team explains each step before touching a drill, which matters even more with a crown since it usually takes two visits to complete. Nicholas J. avoided the dentist for more than 20 years out of fear before booking with TCD Madison. "I finally made an appointment, and I'm so grateful I chose this place," he said. Jenna B. described her experience with Dr. Clark and Rachel as "BEYOND my expectations."
