5 Colgate, Types Of Dental Coverage: Which Is Right For You?, 2023
* Actual costs vary, but dental crown can cost $2,000 or more. A good comprehensive plan can lower that to under $700. Here's how: We'll assume you have a PPO dental plan that covers major procedures at 50%, you're past the waiting period, and your dentist's customary fee for the treatment is $2,000. With a 35% in-network discount, the fee goes down to $1,300. After paying your $50 deductible, the insurance company pays half of the remaining $1,250 charge, and you owe the other half ($625). You save $1,325, and your total out-of-pocket expense is $675.
