How Much Does Dental Crown Cost In Nigeria? by ozorku: 9:00am On Oct 18, 2021 |
Hi Nairalanders, I'd like to enquire about the cost of a dental crown procedure in Lagos. So, I treated my root canal about a week ago and I was told I would need dental crowning after few weeks to cover it up, the bill for the dental crown procedure given was so ridiculous and this being my first time, I'd like to be sure I'm not being ripped off. Thank you 1 Like |

Dental crowns are actually pricey, lab charges and the high cost of the materials as well as expertise involved makes the price high. For an anterior tooth you may use an acrylic jacket crown (15,000 and above) but for he premolars or molars, it is better to have a metal based crown that can withstand chewing forces. Porcelain fused to metal crowns are from 35,000-90,000 in Government hospitals and from 40,000 and above in Private hospitals. I will also advise that you crown the tooth so it doesn't break and you now still have to end up removing it. Best wishes 3 Likes |

I was told it would cost me 250K each to crown 2 teeth. I did root canal procedure on the 2 teeth in 2017, went for check up and was re advised to crown it to avoid breaking. The cost is pricey hence where I searched for the cost online and found this thread. Any advise please 29/12/2022 |

eboniest: Please which areas would you prefer? |
Re: How Much Does Dental Crown Cost In Nigeria? by Sewasaunt(f): 2:42pm On Dec 31, 2022 |
biridon: You should crown them, else they may break and you may end up needing extractions. Crowns cost around 80,000 in Lasuth, Luth. Luth is less stressful. Private hospitals cost more but are faster, you can walk in and practically start your procedure that day. |

Sewasaunt: Hello ma. Big thanks for all the dental advice you have been giving on nairaland Please how much would it cost (range) to do a root canal for my right lower 2nd molar? Also the above 80k is for what type of crown? Thanks, |
Re: How Much Does Dental Crown Cost In Nigeria? by Sewasaunt(f): 7:33am On Apr 22, 2023 |
Krppkyy: Thank you very much (really). A lower molar root canal can be anything from 35,000 total package (Government Hospital) to as much as 150,000 (private clinics). Rcts are technique sensitive and time consuming hence the cost. So please make sure you are choosing a good centre and politely share your concerns with your Dentist. The 80,000 crown is a porcelain fused to metal crown. There are more aesthetically pleasing crowns now like the Emax and Zirconia crowns that are also durable but they will cost at least 120,000-300,000 and mostly in Private centres, I don't know of any Government Hospital that does them for now, not sure about Luth though.

Sewasaunt: Thanks again. You are saying government hospitals stop at porcelain fused to metal? Does gold cost more or less than emax/zirconia? How strong is porcelain? Is it noticeable visually? Thanks |
Re: How Much Does Dental Crown Cost In Nigeria? by Sewasaunt(f): 10:15am On Apr 23, 2023 |
Krppkyy: Gold is not that strong and it is mostly for Anterior teeth or aesthetics. Gold crowns will cost between 80,000-120,000 or more depending on the centre. Setting up labs that can fabricate Emax and zirconia crowns are expensive and this is Nigeria. Ordinary soap and cotton wool is a big issue in many government hospitals. Porcelain (though aesthetically pleasing and can appear very similar to natural teeth) is fragile and on its own isn't very good for Molars because of chewing force, that's why the zirconia and Emax as well as other forms of materials are being researched into, used and developed. 1 Like |

Sewasaunt: When you say gold crown is soft, do you mean it can't be used to chew, say, bones? Are the gold crowns milled or casted? |

You will have two visit for treatment of teeth and also one more for temporary teeth before the permanent teeth arrives from overseas.
