What is the Average Cost of a Dental Crown Compared with Porcelain Veneers?

In my office the cost is almost the same for either procedure. The reason veneers are the same cost as a crown is NOT because they have the same cost to me (overhead). The overhead to do a single veneer is actually higher than for a single crown but the justification for charging the same is that usually multiple veneers are done at the same time which then lowers the per unit cost but crowns are often done one at a time.

Hope this makes sense. Good luck!

In my office the fees for Porcelain Veneers and Crowns are basically the same cost. From a procedural standpoint they are both similar in that  they require impressions, temporaries and insert appointments. The expertise needed to make an esthetically pleasing Porcelain Veneer may actually be greater than that  for a Crown by both the Ceramist and Dentist alike.

In my office there is no cost difference between a crown and a veneer.  I have always felt that it is best to provide the right service and that the cost should not be the deciding factor as to which course of treatment to select.
