Dental crowns in Hanoi

Last updated 6 November 2026 · By the Dentist in Hanoi editorial team · General information, not medical advice

When a crown is used

• after a root canal treatment on a back tooth;
• when a large part of the tooth is broken or filled;
• on top of a dental implant;
• as part of a bridge to replace a missing tooth.

Materials

• Metal-ceramic (porcelain fused to metal): a metal core with porcelain on top. Strong and the lowest cost. A grey edge can show at the gum line over time. Clinics in Hanoi often list several types by metal (for example nickel-chromium, titanium or precious alloys).
• Zirconia: metal-free, very strong, suitable for back teeth and increasingly for front teeth. Clinics list several zirconia brands at different prices.
• Glass ceramic (such as lithium disilicate, often sold as e.max): very natural-looking, often chosen for front teeth.

Ask which brand and which dental lab makes the crown, and whether you get a warranty card.

What it costs in Hanoi

Ranges are the lowest and highest prices we found on the clinics' own published price lists; "Clinics" is the number of price lists the range is based on. A dentist can only give you a real quote after an examination. Sources.

How long it takes

At the first visit the tooth is shaped and an impression or digital scan is taken; you leave with a temporary crown. The final crown is fitted at a second visit, typically a few days later. Clinics with an in-house milling machine (CAD/CAM) can sometimes do it in one day. If you are travelling, tell the clinic your dates before treatment starts.
