What affects the cost of a crown
Two things move the fee:
Material. Full metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns sit at the lower end; full porcelain and zirconia, which look natural, sit at the upper end. The dentist recommends a material based on the tooth's position, your bite, and how much the look matters.
Whether it's part of a bigger restoration. A crown on a root-treated tooth may also need a post and a core to build it up first (see the fee schedule above), and a crown on an implant is priced with the implant — see the implant cost guide.
What a bridge costs
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by joining crowns on the teeth either side of the gap, so it's priced by the number of units. A single-tooth gap usually needs a three-unit bridge — the false tooth plus a crown on each neighbour. Cementation and, where needed, removal of an old prosthesis are listed in the schedule above.
CHAS and MediSave
CHAS subsidises permanent crowns for Blue, Orange, Merdeka Generation and Pioneer Generation cardholders, within an annual limit — see how CHAS works at our clinics. From mid-2026, patients aged 60 and above can also use Flexi-MediSave (up to S$400 a year) towards a permanent crown at CHAS dental clinics. See the MediSave guide.
What's billed separately
The consultation, diagnostic X-rays and any core build-up or root canal treatment the tooth needs first are billed separately. For how a crown is done — the visits and what to expect — see the full crowns and bridges guide.

Common questions
What does a dental bridge cost?
A bridge is priced by the number of crown units it spans, so a single-tooth gap (usually a three-unit bridge) is roughly three crown fees. The dentist gives an exact figure after assessing the gap and the neighbouring teeth.
Does CHAS cover crowns?
Yes. CHAS subsidises permanent crowns for cardholders within an annual limit, with the amount rising across the Orange, Blue, Merdeka Generation and Pioneer Generation tiers. See our CHAS page for the current amounts.
Can I use MediSave for a crown?
From mid-2026, patients aged 60 and above can use Flexi-MediSave — up to S$400 a year — towards a permanent crown at CHAS dental clinics. It can be combined with any CHAS subsidy you hold.
How much does a dental crown cost in Singapore?
At Advanced Dental a crown is S$1,000 to S$1,500 per unit, set by the material — full metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal from S$1,000 and full porcelain or zirconia up to S$1,500. The consultation and X-rays are billed separately.
PFM or zirconia — which should I choose?
PFM is a long-established, lower-cost option; zirconia is all-ceramic, strong and metal-free with a natural look. The right choice depends on the tooth's position and your bite — the dentist will advise at the consultation.
