Costs & PricingQuick Answer
A dental crown in the Philippines costs PHP 8,000–25,000 depending on the material. PFM crowns are most affordable; zirconia crowns are the most aesthetic and durable.
Detailed Explanation
Dental crown costs in the Philippines vary by material and clinic location. PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns are the most affordable at PHP 8,000–15,000. They have a metal base with a porcelain exterior. Full porcelain crowns cost PHP 12,000–20,000 and are more aesthetic but less durable for back teeth. Zirconia crowns are the premium option at PHP 15,000–25,000. They are the strongest, most aesthetic, and most biocompatible option. E-max (lithium disilicate) crowns cost PHP 15,000–22,000 and are excellent for front teeth. Makati and BGC clinics charge at the higher end. Most clinics offer payment plans for multiple crowns.
