Crowns & Bridges in Durham

0 clinics · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Crowns cap a single damaged tooth; bridges span a gap by anchoring replacement teeth to the neighbors. Both are priced per unit, and the material drives the quote - zirconia and all-ceramic sit at the top of the range, porcelain-fused-to-metal in the middle. A three-unit bridge is effectively three crowns' worth of units, which is why bridge quotes look large next to single-crown pricing. Some practices mill same-day crowns in-house with CAD/CAM equipment, trading the lab wait for a single visit; others use an outside lab across two visits. Dental insurance often contributes toward crowns, unlike purely cosmetic work. Compare itemized per-unit quotes and confirm pricing at a consultation with a licensed dentist.

FAQ

Crowns & Bridges in Durham - common questions

How much does a dental crown cost? +
Typically $800-2,500 per tooth, with the material - zirconia, all-ceramic or porcelain-fused-to-metal - the biggest price factor. Bridges are priced per unit, so a three-unit bridge spans roughly three times the single-crown range. Get a written per-unit quote at a consultation with a licensed dentist.
How do I compare practices for crowns or bridges? +
Ask what material the quote covers, whether it's a same-day in-house crown or a lab crown over two visits, and what the practice's remake or warranty policy is. Then compare per-unit pricing across a couple of consultations along with review history.
How many visits does a crown take? +
Same-day CAD/CAM crowns are completed in one visit; lab-made crowns usually take two visits spaced a couple of weeks apart, with a temporary crown in between. Ask the practice which workflow they use when you book.
How much do dental implants cost in Durham? +
A single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) in Durham typically runs $2,800-$6,000. Full-arch All-on-4 treatment usually starts around $15,000-$17,000 per arch. These are typical ranges, not quotes - confirm your itemized total at a consultation.
Can Durham patients use the UNC dental school in Chapel Hill? +
Yes - the UNC Adams School of Dentistry is 15-20 minutes away and treats patients at roughly 30-50% below private rates under faculty supervision, including implants. It is the Triangle's best-value option for patients with schedule flexibility.
How do I choose an implant dentist in Durham? +
Verify a periodontist, prosthodontist or oral surgeon performs placement, expect CT/3D imaging, and compare itemized quotes across the Triangle - Durham, Chapel Hill and west Raleigh offices genuinely compete for the same patients.
Which Durham areas have the most dental clinics? +
Southpoint and Ninth Street/Duke area lead, with strong coverage in Brier Creek, Hope Valley and neighboring Chapel Hill. The ranked list below covers the western Triangle by reviews.
