In Singapore, the average cost of a dental crown ranges between S$700 and S$1300 at public institutions, and S$500 and S$2000 at private dental clinics. The expense usually varies widely as there are several factors affecting the final cost of the dental procedure. Some of them include the experience of the dentist, the material of the dental crown used for the restoration as well as the complexity of the procedure. Some additional dental procedures that might be required such as bone graft or root canal may also make your treatment more expensive.
