How much does a tooth crown cost WITH insurance?

i have insurance cigna ppo i think; it also covers dental. my dentist says i need a crown on my bottom right molar how much does it cost on average with a good dental plan, i think mines is good whats considered good i think its like 80% coverage but i'm not sure if it's for crowns too
--------------------
the charge for a crown in my office is $1,000. IF you have 80% coverage you will have to pay $200 plus your deductable (usually $50 yearly) However I have found that most insurances consider crowns to be "major" work and only cover 50%. You can check with the insurance company directly or have your dentist send in a pretreatment authorization., then you will know exactly what your out of pocket expense will be.
