While same-day crowns are faster than traditional dental crowns, the cost is comparable, depending on the materials being compared. Because CEREC eliminates the costs of lab fees and additional appointments, we are able to pass these savings on to our patients. The average cost of a same-day crown in NYC is between $1,000 to $3,000. The exact cost depends on the amount of work needed to prepare your tooth and which tooth is being restored. CEREC crowns are usually at least partially covered by most dental insurance plans, but we can help you understand your out-of-pocket costs during your consultation.
