The dental implant crown is the visible part of an implant restoration. It is the tooth-shaped restoration attached to the implant through an abutment.

In the Philippines, the cost of an implant crown varies depending on the material, dental laboratory, clinic, and complexity of the restoration.

A general estimated price range is approximately ₱8,000 to ₱35,000+ per crown, depending on the material selected.

Dental Implant Crown Price Philippines

Crown Type	Estimated Price Per Tooth
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)	₱8,000–₱15,000
Full / monolithic zirconia	₱15,000–₱30,000+
E-Max / lithium disilicate	₱20,000–₱35,000+

These are estimated ranges rather than fixed prices. Dental clinics may charge differently depending on the laboratory, materials, technology, and treatment plan.

What Is an Implant Crown?

A dental implant restoration generally has three main components:

Implant fixture → Abutment → Crown

The implant fixture is placed into the jawbone and functions as the artificial tooth root.

The abutment connects the implant fixture to the crown.

The crown is the visible replacement tooth that restores the shape and function of the missing tooth.

It is important to ask your dentist whether the quoted implant price includes all three components.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crown

Porcelain-fused-to-metal, commonly called PFM, consists of a metal structure covered with porcelain.

Estimated price:

₱8,000–₱15,000 per crown

PFM crowns have been used in dentistry for many years and can provide good strength and function.

One consideration is that the metal underneath the porcelain can sometimes affect the appearance near the gum line, particularly if the gum tissue changes over time.

Zirconia Implant Crown

Zirconia is a popular ceramic material used for dental crowns.

Estimated price:

₱15,000–₱30,000+ per crown

Zirconia is known for its strength and tooth-colored appearance. Different types and manufacturing techniques can produce different aesthetic and mechanical characteristics.

Your dentist can determine whether zirconia is appropriate for the location of the missing tooth and your bite.

E-Max Crown

E-Max generally refers to crowns made from lithium disilicate ceramic.

Estimated price:

₱20,000–₱35,000+ per crown

Lithium disilicate can provide a highly aesthetic appearance and is often considered for visible teeth where appearance is an important consideration.

The appropriate material depends on factors such as tooth location, available space, bite forces, and the design of the implant restoration.

How Much Does an Implant Abutment Cost?

The abutment is the connector between the implant and crown.

If it is not included in your implant package, an abutment may add approximately:

₱10,000–₱25,000

The actual price depends on the type of abutment.

Examples include:

• Stock titanium abutment

• Custom titanium abutment

• Zirconia abutment

• Custom-milled abutment

Some implant packages include the abutment, while others charge for it separately.

Is the Implant Crown Included in the Implant Price?

Not always.

Some dental clinics advertise a package that includes the implant fixture, abutment, and crown.

Other clinics itemize each component separately.

For example, a quotation might list:

Implant fixture: ₱50,000
Abutment: ₱15,000
Crown: ₱20,000

The estimated treatment total would therefore be ₱85,000 before any additional procedures or fees.

This is only an example. Actual prices vary between clinics.

Additional Costs to Ask About

When comparing implant crown prices, ask whether the quotation includes:

• Abutment

• Temporary crown

• Digital scan or dental impression

• Dental laboratory fees

• Crown fitting

• Bite adjustment

• X-rays or CBCT imaging

• Follow-up appointments

Additional procedures may also be necessary before the final crown can be placed.

For example, a patient may require tooth extraction or bone grafting before implant treatment.

Choosing the Right Implant Crown Material

There is no single crown material that is appropriate for every patient.

Your dentist may consider:

• Location of the missing tooth

• Bite and chewing forces

• Available space

• Gum appearance

• Desired aesthetics

• Budget

• Implant system

• Laboratory capabilities

For a front tooth, appearance and translucency may be particularly important.

For a back tooth, strength and resistance to chewing forces may receive greater consideration.

Dental Implant Crown Cost in Cebu

Dental implant crown prices in Cebu can vary between dental clinics and laboratories.

When comparing prices, don't compare the crown price alone. Ask for the complete cost of the implant restoration, including the implant fixture, abutment, crown, diagnostics, and any additional procedures.

A low crown price may not represent the lowest overall treatment cost if other components are billed separately.

Questions to Ask Your Dentist

Before ordering the final implant crown, ask:

1. What crown material will be used?

2. Is the abutment included?

3. Is the laboratory fee included?

4. Is digital scanning included?

5. Is the temporary crown included?

6. Is the crown screw-retained or cement-retained?

7. What implant system is being used?

8. What is the complete price for the finished implant tooth?

9. Are follow-up adjustments included?

10. What warranty or laboratory policy applies to the restoration?

Summary

The estimated cost of a dental implant crown in the Philippines is approximately:

• PFM: ₱8,000–₱15,000

• Zirconia: ₱15,000–₱30,000+

• E-Max: ₱20,000–₱35,000+

An additional ₱10,000–₱25,000 may apply for the abutment when it is not included in the treatment package.

The final price depends on the crown material, dental laboratory, implant system, abutment, clinic, and individual treatment requirements.

Before treatment, request a complete written quotation showing the cost of the implant fixture, abutment, crown, diagnostics, surgery, and any additional procedures.
