Porcelain Veneers & Crowns Pricing at Viet Nga Dental Clinic
Dental crowns are a common restorative solution that can help protect natural teeth or improve the overall aesthetics of your smile.
The cost of dental crowns depends on the material’s origin, warranty coverage, and the dentist’s clinical expertise.
This article provides an overview of the different segments, features, and pricing of dental crowns at Viet Nga Dental Clinic.
1. What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns (ceramic crowns) are restorations placed over a prepared natural tooth or attached to an Implant abutment to restore the tooth’s shape, chewing function, and aesthetics.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
Dental crowns are commonly considered for severely damaged teeth caused by tooth decay or trauma, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and require protection against fracture, or patients seeking to improve the aesthetics of their teeth.
Whether you need a dental crown and which type is appropriate should be determined by a dentist following an in-person examination.

3. Factors Affecting Dental Crown Prices
- Framework and ceramic origin: Ceramic products manufactured at Vietnamese dental labs are generally more affordable than imported or officially manufactured materials from Germany, the USA, or Italy.
- Strength, elasticity, and number of color-effect layers: These technical characteristics vary between ceramic systems and can affect durability and aesthetics.
- Warranty period: Each ceramic line comes with its own warranty, ranging from 3 to 20 years.
- Number of teeth requiring restoration: Single-tooth treatment and a 16-tooth package have different pricing structures.
4. Technical Specifications of Dental Crowns
- Strength (MPa): Indicates the material’s ability to withstand force; a higher value generally indicates a stronger material.
- Elastic modulus (GPa): Relates to the material’s ability to withstand repeated chewing forces over time.
- Color-effect layers: The number of ceramic layers used during fabrication, which can influence how natural the crown’s color appears compared with natural teeth.
These specifications are provided for technical reference. Your dentist will recommend a suitable ceramic option based on your dental condition and individual needs.
5. Tooth Core Build-Up – Potential Additional Cost
Before placing a dental crown, some cases may require a tooth core build-up if the remaining natural tooth structure is insufficient to securely support the crown.
| Tooth Core Type | Price |
|---|---|
| Metal Core | 500,000 VND/tooth |
| Titanium Core | 1,000,000 VND/tooth |
| Zirconia Ceramic Core | 1,500,000 VND/tooth |
Whether a tooth core build-up is necessary and which type is appropriate will be determined by the dentist after examining the remaining natural tooth structure at Viet Nga Dental Clinic.
6. What Is the 16-Tooth Package and When Is It Suitable?
The 16-tooth package is intended for patients who require multiple-tooth or full-arch restoration, with a package price that is lower than the total cost of treating each tooth individually.
With a package treatment, the overall cost is generally more optimized compared with treating each tooth separately at the individual-tooth rate.
The dentist will examine your teeth and recommend the actual number of teeth requiring restoration, as well as the most suitable ceramic material based on your dental condition, aesthetic goals, and budget.
This option may be suitable for patients seeking a comprehensive smile transformation while prioritizing a natural, harmonious appearance and optimized cost.
Warranty policies vary by ceramic type:
Titan alloy ceramic and full-contour Silicate Zirconia come with manufacturer Lab warranties of 3–7 years, while higher-end options — Cercon HT, HT Smile, Nacera Q3, Lava Plus, and Orodent
— come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 to 20 years.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is the difference between Titan alloy ceramic and Zirconia?
Titan alloy ceramic uses a Titan framework manufactured at a Vietnamese dental lab, with a lower price and shorter warranty period.
Full-contour Silicate Zirconia uses German-imported blocks, with higher strength and elasticity and a 7-year warranty.
Your dentist can provide more specific guidance on the differences in durability and aesthetics during your consultation.
2. Which type of dental crown is the most durable?
Ceramic materials with higher strength and elasticity are generally associated with longer warranty periods.
At Viet Nga Dental Clinic, Lava Plus (15-year warranty) and Orodent (20-year warranty) are the two options with the highest durability and aesthetic positioning.
However, actual longevity also depends on individual oral care and chewing habits.
3. Which type of dental crown looks the most natural?
The aesthetics of a dental crown are influenced by the number of color-effect layers used during fabrication.
Ceramic systems with more color-effect layers — such as Orodent with 20 layers and Lava Plus with 18 layers — generally provide a more natural appearance.
However, aesthetic preferences are subjective. Your dentist can provide further recommendations based on your natural tooth color and individual aesthetic goals.
4. Which type of dental crown is the most popular?
Each ceramic option is designed for different needs and budgets. You can discuss your specific situation directly with the dentist during your consultation to receive a recommendation that best suits your dental condition.
