Metal-ceramic crown for the tooth: the cost of work and the price of metal ceramics in Moscow

Restoration of lost or destroyed for different reasons teeth at this time is perhaps the most common service that dental clinics and centers of Moscow provide to their clients.There are many varieties of this type of recovery, including prosthetics with cermets.

Metal-ceramic is called crowns or bridges , made of metal, and coated with a thin layer of sputtering ceramic composition or made by casting.Immediately the whole structure is absolutely hypoallergenic.The metal base as precisely as possible repeats the contours of the tooth itself, and the outer layer makes it possible to make a crown with a look very similar to the natural row of teeth.

Due to the increased strength , this type of prosthetics is mainly used for the restoration of those teeth that are called chewing gum.But also on the front teeth, too, often install cermets, as the aesthetic qualities depend significantly on the materials used.For example, the use of certain special technologies and precious non-ferrous metals make it possible to closely approximate the appearance of the crown to the original.

How is the cost for the cermets formed and what does it include?

There are many quite logical factors that can significantly affect the cost of metal-ceramic crowns.Just the spread of prices for this type of prosthetics is quite large.If, in general, to consider the cost, in the dental market, the approximate cost will vary approximately 21-24 thousand rubles.But there are a lot of variations here.

The minimum cost of metal ceramics in Moscow starts from 3-5 thousand, and can reach even more than 50 thousand rubles.The cost consists of different factors in each particular case.Some of them are considered compulsory, some are not.

Therapeutic stage: preparatory

Consultation

In most dental clinics, especially with a very high level of services, this service: either is completely free of charge, or its price will be written into the account upon completion of all the work done.The approximate cost is 400-700 rubles.

Research

First of all - it's radiography.Taking into account the of the received X-ray image of , a decision is taken on the subsequent actions of the dentist.The cost starts from 200 rubles and can increase almost to 1000 taking into account the equipment used and the required quality of X-ray images, their printing and saving for later use.

Pre-Filling of Teeth

When old seals were identified during the examination, their quality should be determined.If it is bad enough, you will need to install new seals.The cost of this procedure is 1500-7000 rubles.In this case, the cost will depend on the material used and the complexity of the work.

Probably, will need the depopulation of , which needs subsequent channel sealing.This is done in the event that a focus of the inflammatory process is detected or in some other situations.

Also, in the presence of such dental diseases as periodontitis or pulpitis, their treatment is necessarily required.The cost of all works, as a rule, reaches 7-11 thousand rubles.

Culture tab

When the tooth is destroyed not more than 50%, the crown of the cermet will be placed on the pin.This is also cheaper and easier.In the case of , if the fractures are significant , that is, the tooth is not nearly up to the root or only the walls are, then it will be necessary to make and fasten a special caulk tab.This design, by and large, is a support for the crown, the tab increases the reliability and strength of the overall design.Their price will depend on the materials for manufacturing and the level of tooth decay.Here is the approximate cost per one tooth with the installation:

• three-core metal crown - more than 5 thousand rubles;
• two-root metal crowns - about 4 thousand rubles;
• metal single-root crowns - about 3 - /, 5 thousand rubles;
• inserts made with the addition of zirconia are the most expensive, their cost starts from about 10 thousand rubles.

Preparing for prosthetics and direct prosthetics

These two stages are combined into one because it's senseless to separate the cost of the orthopaedist directly( is manufacturing the crowns), the dentist and the cermet attachment.As it is senseless to purchase a separate ceramic-metal crown without installing it.Almost in every dental clinic, the cost is indicated as one.This means that the cost of material and work during prosthetics with cermets is in one common category.

There is only one small stage of , it is needed most often, which is paid for separately.This is the manufacture and fixing of temporary plastic prostheses for teeth that have already been turned and prepared.These designs are required to protect already turned and prepared teeth, as well as aesthetic appearance.The price of each such one crown varies approximately 160-220 rubles.

Subjective components

First of all, it should be said that is the manufacturer of the assembly material used during prosthetics.This factor is purely subjective, since, in addition to the fact that any manufacturing company has its own technological and specific developments and establishes its price policy, there are also market objective reasons for the rise in price of foreign materials.

It is also necessary to say about the fact that the choice of the dental clinic is also important.Completely analogous metal-ceramic dental crowns can have different costs even in one network of polyclinics.This is explained with a specific location and popularity.The more popular the dental clinic is, the higher the cost.The region where the service of prosthetics of metal-ceramic prostheses is provided is also of great importance during the determination of the total cost.If the cost in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other megacities is still relatively comparable, then in small settlements, you can get these same services much cheaper.

In this case the relative cheapness of cermet is not a criterion of poor quality.Naturally, large dental clinics, where doctors have extensive practical experience, most likely give guarantees for their services.However, this does not mean that in small polyclinics this work will be worse.

How to save on cermets?

Partially mentioned already, how to save the quality of the installed metal-ceramic crowns without damage to .Some factors are not so obvious, however, they will also be indicated:

• Selection of a specific dental clinic that provides similar services for the installation of metal-ceramic crowns.Not all the time it is necessary to go to another locality in order to pay a lower cost.You need to ask about the approximate prices for the installation of prostheses within your city and nearby outskirts.But at the same time it is best to find out whether the specific clinic provides a guarantee to its clients.Sometimes savings can be impressive amounts, in some cases up to 25-35%.
• All dental clinics from time to time hold various promotions and provide their customers with discounts.In some situations, quite large.If the case is not very critical, then perhaps it makes sense to wait a bit for some shares.
• You can save money directly on materials.For example, the basis of a denture can have quite a big difference in cost.As these cermets are made not only from alloys of titanium, cobalt, chromium and nickel.In some cases, gold or platinum is also used, the first - more often.Naturally, precious metals have many advantages.But in this case, you can do without it, as the rest of the alloys for strength for the base of the prosthesis is not worse, and the presence of non-ferrous metals raises the price by approximately 3-4 thousand rubles.For one gram.
• The number of manufactured prostheses can also affect the price per tooth.The more teeth are prone to prosthetics at the same time, the cheaper their approximate cost.This is similar to the reduction in prices during wholesale purchases.

The cost of cermet

To begin with, it must be said about the fact that there are many manufacturers of cermets on teeth. The price is also partially affected by .Including prices are significantly different directly on the ceramic material, which is separately applied to the metal frame, then in a special furnace is fired.

Metal varieties - estimated cost

In this case is referring to the dental clinic with a relatively averaged value at a decent level, but without pathos.All prices, which will be given, concern only the crowns directly, in this case the work of the dentist, the dental technician and other components of the cost are not taken into account.

• The manufacturer of ceramics directly - Japan or Germany, the frame is made of chrome-cobalt composition - the cost is approximately 7-8 thousand rubles.For one tooth.
• The composition of the materials is exactly the same, but the manufacturer - Russia and Belarus - the cost is reduced by approximately 1.2-1.6 thousand rubles.
• The price of a frame made of non-ferrous alloys, for example gold-palladium or gold-platinum composition, will be higher than the total cost of a crown made of other metals - about 10 thousand rubles.The total price of one crown is about 20 thousand rubles.But you need to take into account that objectively this value can increase very strongly with the appreciation of gold.

Cost of anterior teeth replacement

This prosthesis is best performed simultaneously by for the entire visible dentition.This greatly enhances the aesthetic appearance.If only one prosthesis is installed, it will almost always be different in appearance from the number of teeth located.This service can be provided if there is no possibility for restoration or restoration of the tooth, that is, during almost its complete destruction.

The cost of prostheses using a non-ferrous metal frame in this case will already start from approximately 21-23 thousand rubles, because it requires great skill, both the dental technician and the dentist, for more accurate color selection and performance.

For chewing teeth, it is sometimes even more expensive to install metal-ceramic prosthetics .In this case, you need to take into account the number of required materials per tooth crown.But in this case, you can not use temporary crowns and non-ferrous metals.This will be a very significant saving.

It should be added that the cost of a metal-ceramic crown , which is installed on a bone implant, will be much larger.This is explained with the expensive cost directly implants.The same crown, but with the addition of zirconia, will cost more than 19-20 thousand rubles, and this equates to expensive precious structures.

Thus, the total cost of the metal-ceramic crowns will depend on the materials used, the degree of tooth decay, its location in the dentition, additional work that the dentist will need to do before installing the crown, etc.
