One of the main reasons people leave the process of root canal therapy and tooth restoration unfinished in dental clinics is the perception of the high cost of a dental crown. However, this procedure is typically priced based on numerous factors and does not necessarily have a high price.
On this page, in addition to informing you of all the dental crown tariffs at Dr. Bonyanian’s dental clinic, we will also familiarize you with the factors affecting the final price of this procedure.
Dental Crown Cost in 2025 in Tehran
The price of a dental crown at Dr. Bonyanian’s dental clinic in Tehran in 2025 starts from 10 million Toman for Emax and varies up to about 20 million Toman for crowns from the famous PFM brand. Additionally, the price of a temporary dental crown (which is produced and installed on the tooth for only a short period) is around 2,500,000 Toman.
Factors Affecting the Price of a Dental Crown
The factors affecting the price of a dental crown, in general, can be summarized in the following cases:
- Type and material of the crown (all-metal, metal-ceramic, ceramic, all-gold)
- The laboratory that produces the crown
- Dentist’s fee and wages
- Insurance contribution
Cost of Each Dental Crown Unit in 2025
The price of each dental crown unit in Tehran in 2025, depending on its material and quality, starts from 6,500,000 Toman and goes up to 20,000,000 Toman.
Cheaper crowns are made of stainless steel, which despite their high strength, have no aesthetic beauty or appeal. In contrast, more expensive crowns are those that, in addition to high strength, also have an appearance similar to a completely natural tooth.
Of course, the cost of a dental crown in dental clinics also directly depends on the quality of the laboratory’s work and the dentist’s craftsmanship, which we will discuss in more detail in the section on factors affecting the crown’s price.
Cost of Dental Crowns of Different Materials
One of the most important factors affecting the price of a dental crown is its material. Therefore, since crowns can be made of different materials such as ceramic, zirconia alloy, gold, etc., their prices will vary.
Price of an All-Metal Dental Crown
The cost of an all-metal dental crown in Tehran is approximately 6,900,000 Toman in 2025. Of course, the cost of these crowns also highly depends on the percentage and type of alloy used in them.
All-metal crowns are the most suitable type of dental crown for molars. This is because these crowns have better durability compared to other types of dental crowns.
Cost of a Ceramic Dental Crown
In 2025, the cost varies between 10 to 20 million Toman. These crowns are among the most popular and high-quality prices for ceramic dental crowns and are considered one of the most common types in dentistry. Although they do not have the strength of all-metal or metal-ceramic crowns, they are aesthetically more beautiful, more natural, and more similar to one’s own natural teeth.
At Dr. Bonyanian’s dental clinic, we use ceramic dental crowns for our clients to offer them a combination of beauty and strength.
Cost of a Zirconia Dental Crown
At Dr. Bonyanian’s dental clinic, the price of a zirconia dental crown is 12 million Toman per unit. The natural beauty of zirconia crowns is similar to ceramic crowns, and their strength is similar to metal crowns. Another advantage of these crowns is their high resistance to color change, high compatibility with oral tissues, and being non-allergenic.
Price of a PFM Dental Crown
In 2025, the cost of a PFM dental crown is approximately 10,000,000 Toman (ten million Toman) for a crown on a natural tooth. This type of dental crown is designed in two layers. That is, metal is used in their underlying structure, and ceramic is used in their outer part. This combination merges two important features of metal and ceramic crowns, making PFM crowns one of the most popular types of dental crowns worldwide.
If you are interested in a PFM crown, we will order a crown of this material from the laboratory for you.
Price of a Gold Dental Crown
Determining the exact price of a gold dental crown is not possible due to market fluctuations. However, you can calculate the price of these crowns by multiplying their weight (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 grams depending on the tooth number) by the daily price of gold + the fabrication fee.
Gold crowns have many fans around the world. These crowns are highly durable, and for some people, their appearance is a sign of attractiveness and wealth.
Price of an E-max Dental Crown
The price of an E-max dental crown in 2025 is approximately 20,000,000 Toman. The reason for the high price of E-max dental crowns is their very high quality and the great reputation of this brand.
According to an article titled “The Advantages of Using E-MAX Crowns,” this group of crowns is not only used for restored teeth. It can also be used if a person’s teeth have dark and discolored stains, fractures, or chipping.
Of course, do not forget that there are other solutions for problems such as tooth discoloration and chipping. These procedures are collectively known as cosmetic dentistry and smile design. Below, we introduce some of these methods to you.
Cost of a Zirconia-Ceramic (Hybrid) Crown
The price of a zirconia-ceramic dental crown in Tehran in 2025 is 12,000,000 Toman. One type of dental crown is the zirconia-ceramic crown. That is, crowns that have zirconia inside and ceramic outside.
Cost of a Crown for a Root-Canaled Tooth
Dr. Bonyanian explained that:
It makes no difference whether you intend to crown a root-canaled tooth, a decayed tooth, or even an implant abutment. Because in any case, the price of the dental crown is determined based on its material and type, not its application.
For example, metal dental crowns are cheap but are not very beautiful or desirable aesthetically. Meanwhile, all-ceramic dental crowns are the best option in terms of beauty, but they are also considered the most expensive type of crown.
Price of a Stainless Steel Crown for Baby Teeth
The cost of a stainless steel crown for children’s baby teeth is approximately 2 million Toman per unit. A stainless steel crown is one of the best choices for wisdom teeth because the strength of this tooth is very important, and on the other hand, since it is at the back of the jaw, its appearance is not very important.
Tariff for a Temporary Crown
The price of a temporary crown is 1,500,000 Toman per crown. However, note that these crowns are produced only for the time you are waiting for your permanent crown to be prepared in the laboratory and do not have the applications of a regular crown.
If you accept the risk of not using a temporary crown and take good care of your tooth during the approximately 10-day period, you can opt out of using a temporary crown. However, if your tooth is one of the front teeth and has a significant impact on your appearance, or if taking care of the restored tooth is difficult for you, it is better to use a temporary crown.
Price of a Front Dental Crown
The cost of a front dental crown, just like other teeth, varies between 6,900,000 and 12,000,000 Toman. It makes no difference whether the dental crown in question is for a posterior or anterior tooth. Because in any case, the cost of the dental crown is related to other factors such as the crown’s material, not its location.
Cost of a Molar Crown
Some people assume that molar crowns should be more expensive than front crowns due to the larger size of the crown or the dentist’s more difficult access to them. However, this assumption is wrong, and the location of the tooth has no role in its price.
Price of a Dental Bridge | Price of Connected Dental Crowns
The cost of a single-piece, connected crown, which is usually used for the front teeth of the jaw, is determined based on the number of teeth and the need or lack of need for a foundation.
If the teeth need a foundation, the cost of each selected crown unit is added to a figure of about 6 to 8 million Toman. For example, if you order a single-piece bridge for, say, 5 front teeth of your jaw, and choose PFM crowns, you should expect to pay between 60 to 80 million Toman in 2025 for the foundation and the crowns. If there is no need for a foundation, this amount will be reduced to about 40 million Toman.
Cost of Root Canal and Crown
Usually, the cost of a root canal and a crown are calculated separately. So, if you want to have these procedures done one after another, you must pay the cost of each stage (root canal, restoration, and crown) separately.
Cost of a Post | Dental Pin
The cost of a post, due to the more complex procedure and the use of additional equipment, is approximately 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 Toman in 2025. However, this cost may be slightly higher if you receive services from a root canal specialist.
A post or a dental pin is a small, usually metal or sometimes plastic rod that is used to strengthen teeth that are severely damaged or decayed. This means that when using this method, after cleaning the root of the tooth, the dentist places a metal pin inside the root to give the tooth some strength. Then, the dentist performs the other necessary procedures on the tooth.
Price of a Post and Crown
If you want to have both post and crown procedures done for your teeth, you should pay about 4.5 to 6.5 million Toman for the post, and between 7 million to 20 million Toman for your dental crown, depending on the chosen material.
Cheap Dental Crowns
We usually recommend our clients not to go for cheap dental crowns. This is because these crowns, in most cases, have a weakness in one of their essential structural parts, such as beauty or strength. In fact, the reason for their low price is this very weakness.
However, if you are forced to use cheap dental crowns, it is better to go for metal crowns. Because ignoring beauty is easier than ignoring the quality and strength of these crowns.
Cost of Re-cementing a Dental Crown
The cost of re-cementing a dental crown at Dr. Bonyanian’s dental clinic in 2025 is estimated at around 850,000 Toman.
Price of Dental Crown Cement at the Pharmacy
The advice of most dentists to their clients is to avoid using crown cement and re-cementing the piece at home. This is because using crown cement can be associated with some side effects for individuals.
However, if you insist on buying this cement, you will likely have to pay something between 200,000 to 400,000 Toman (depending on the quality of the cement).
Factors Affecting the Price of a Dental Crown
In general, we can summarize the factors affecting the price of a dental crown as follows:
- Type and material of the crown (all-metal, metal-ceramic, ceramic, all-gold)
- The laboratory that produces the crown
- Dentist’s fee and wages
- Insurance contribution
