Teeth deterioration is common among the masses. But would let one anomaly make you lose your tooth? That’s right, probably you won’t! Today, with advancements in dental equipment and cosmetic dentistry, procedures are available for teeth restoration that help avoid tooth loss. Delta crowns happen to be one of these advanced procedures.

In 2025, just like in any other country, more and more people in Pakistan are opting for dental crowns to restore damaged teeth and boost confidence. The reason is the same for all: crowns appear as natural teeth, letting you maintain your smile arc and chew normally.

However, dental crowns are also available in different types and naturally cost differently per type. Let’s explore seven common crown types and their price ranges across the major cities of Pakistan.

The Different Types of Dental Crowns in Pakistan

Here are some of the different dental crown types that you can find in the country:

1. Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are made of metals like gold or alloys (nickel, palladium). These become distinctly apparent among the neighboring white teeth. That’s why dentists usually place them on the back teeth. Their strength and durability make them a good fit for the molars at the back.

The big advantage? They cost reasonably and are long-lasting. In Pakistan in 2025, the price of metal crowns is about PKR 10,000 to 15,000 per tooth. This falls quite near to the cost of teeth filling in Pakistan.

2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

This type of dental crown fuses a metal core with a porcelain outer layer. This gives you dual benefits: strength inside and a natural outer look. This type of dental crown is usable for both the front and the back teeth.

In Pakistan, the PFM crowns typically range in cost from PKR 12,000 to 20,000. Some clinics may charge as high as PKR 25,000, depending on their location and crown quality.

3. All-Ceramic (Full Porcelain) Crown

All-ceramic crowns are made entirely from porcelain or lithium disilicate. These bear the most resemblance to real teeth and do not cause any type of metal allergies. It’s why they are the best choice of dentists in Pakistan for use on front teeth.

Their costs in Pakistan in 2025 range from PKR 15,000 to 30,000 per tooth. Sometimes, it’s even more than this price range, depending on the clinic and shading choice.

4. Zirconia Crowns 

Zirconia is also a ceramic, but a strong one. This crown material combines durability with a very natural teeth shade. So, besides strength, the zirconia crowns impart aesthetics to your smile arc.

In Pakistan’s major cities like Lahore and Karachi, the cost of zirconia crowns varies. Generally, they fall between PKR 25,000 and 40,000 to 50,000 per crown, depending on the dental clinic, lab technology, and crown style (solid vs layered). For high-end layered zirconia crowns, the price may go as high as PKR 60,000.

5. E‑max Crowns

E‑max crowns use lithium disilicate ceramic, known for excellent aesthetics and moderate strength. E‑max is the best choice for top-quality smiles, but only if your budget allows you to have them.

Due to the material quality and strength, the e-max crowns are often priced higher than basic porcelain crowns. In Pakistan, their average price ranges between PKR 30,000 to 50,000 per crown. However, these crown types are not available at every dental clinic in the country.

6. Temporary Crowns

Acrylic or prefabricated tooth caps make up the temporary crowns for your teeth. These are a good option to consider during the time your permanent crowns are prepared. Despite their use for a limited time, the temporary crowns well-protect your teeth and let you eat normally between visits.

Temporary crowns are perhaps the cheapest of all. In most clinics in Pakistan, their cost range between PKR 5,000 to 8,000 per tooth.

7. Gold Crowns 

A type of metal, gold crowns are traditional and long-lasting. While they are slightly less popular in the present time, some dentists still use them.

The price for these gold crowns varies by market value. In Pakistan, dentists may charge around PKR 20,000 to 30,000 for this crown type. It’s similar in cost to the Invisalign price in Pakistan.

Final Thoughts 

In Pakistan in 2025, people are now opting for dental crowns to have their smiles restored, and not lose a tooth. So, the country now offers multiple types of dental crowns. Each of these is made of a different material, which becomes a reason for the difference in their prices. Some are better known for quality and strength but are also pricier, while others are affordable but less durable.
