The price of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns varies depending on multiple factors, including the materials used, brand, hospital level, and local cost of living. Below is a detailed analysis of PFM crown pricing:
Generally speaking, the price of PFM crowns ranges from several hundred to several thousand yuan, with approximate price ranges as follows:
1. Standard PFM crowns: Prices may range from several hundred yuan to approximately 1000–2000 yuan. These crowns are typically fabricated using common metal alloys, such as nickel-chromium or cobalt-chromium alloys.
2. Precious metal PFM crowns: These are more expensive, generally priced between 1000 and 5000 yuan. Precious metals such as gold or platinum are used as the core material, offering better biocompatibility and aesthetics.
3. Imported brand PFM crowns: These may cost even more, with some high-end imported brands reaching prices of several thousand yuan or even over ten thousand yuan.
When selecting a PFM crown, individuals should make choices based on their financial situation and actual needs.
