How much will it cost to get a crown?

I'm a full-time student without dental insurance and needs some dental work done. The main thing I need is a crown, and was wondering how much I could expect to pay, and if anyone has any suggestions for looking around and trying to get a better price. Please share your experiences :)
--------------------
I was in school without insurance too and had to get a root canal which includes a crown at the end. The crown runs about $900 give or take . I got care credit (a 0% interest card you can only use for medical reasons). I paid it off fairly quick that way. Or, does your school have a dental program? They can do it for the price of materials. It'll probably run you $100-$200 that way. Crowns are fairly easy to do, so I wouldn't be too worried about having a student do it- especially since a DDS is there watching and grading making sure they do it well. Option 3: Keep the temporary crown they'll put on until you're done with school (They look great as long as you have a decent and picky assistant working with the doctor). Those can last surprisingly long sometimes. And then you can wait until you're done with school to get the permanent one seated.
