There are different crowns available...I would divide it into three categories... Metal crown Metal ceramic crown... Complete ceramic also known as zirconia crown... All these crown are made by lab technician...so the quality and pricing depends on how good the technician is and the brand of company manufacturing...the crown... I would advice you to go for a zirconia crown...as right now it's the best in class and comfort... The price of zirconia crowns can vary from 6500 to 8500
