Dental Crown Cost in Nairobi & Kenya: Zirconia, Porcelain and PFM Crown Prices
Dental crowns restore weak, cracked, root-canal-treated, or heavily filled teeth, but price depends on material and tooth condition.

Why crowns cost more than fillings
Crowns involve tooth preparation, impressions or scans, lab fabrication, bite adjustment, shade selection, and final cementation. They are more protective than fillings for weak teeth.
When a crown is recommended
A crown may be recommended after root canal treatment, when a tooth is cracked, when a filling is too large, or when a tooth needs stronger long-term protection.
Crown material matters
Back teeth need strength. Front teeth need both strength and natural appearance. Your dentist should help choose a material that fits the tooth position and budget.
