How Much Will It Cost Me to Have a Crown Replaced?

Hi there. In my opinion, the best and most esthetic option for a single central incisor like this is to get an Emax crown with a stump shade and custom shade from the laboratory. The price is pretty much based on where in the country (or world) you get this done. If you go to Missouri the crown is going to be far less than New York. I work in Alaska and you would be looking at $1600 dollars if you went to my office. Unless you go out of the country or are on medicaid, I doubt you could get this done anywhere for under a grand.
It isn't causing the rest of your teeth to change color. The porcelain on the crown does not stain like your natural teeth do so it just appears as though it is causing change. Before you get your crown replaced, get your natural teeth whitened to the shade that you would like your new crown otherwise the laboratory will match the new crown to your teeth that have become stained over the years. 

Thank you for a great question. The price varies greatly depending on the material used, brand of the porcelain and experience of both , a doctor and a dental technician, who is actually fabricating it.
For example, porcelain crown with a metal base is an older technique and cost less. Emax porcelain crown is brand name crown. Having no metal backing, it is very esthetic and strong.
You get what you pay for.All the best to you.

Hi...I am so sorry to hear about the problems you are having with the crown after it was re cemented. It was probably seated wrong, and that is why it does not feel right. The discoloration to the tooth could be from contaminated  cement. However, I do not understand why the one crown would cause discoloration of other teeth. The cost of a new crown depends on what it is made of...base metal or non precious metal and would be around $400 up to $1400 for a e max or all porcelain crown.  Then there is a midrange of a porcelain fused to gold or silver which is less costly than all porcelain. I would change the crown since it causing you problems and also it is has been with you for a long time and, try as we dentist might, we can not make these suckers last a lifetime for you!  Good luck and God Bless!

It depends on the materials gold, porcelain, non gold ect. and doctors expertise somewhere from $900-$1800.00 should be a fair range good luck
