Can anyone tell me please how much it is for a tooth crown. ( uk ) My dentist tells me i need one but i know they cost a bit thanks

hiya jonjo... a friend of mine is due to have a crown done on her tooth and the dentist said it would cost in the region of �115. Might be different around your way but knowing dentists probably not x

Obviously I can't predict the cost in the U.K., but here in the U.S. the cost is very dependant on the material from which the crown is made. The most expensive are ceramic like material that exactly match your existing teeth in color and shading. This is usually the choice for front teeth since they are so visible. However, I have had crowns placed on molars and have chosen what here is termed "base metal". They have a gold tone and are very durable, having had one for at least 20 years. They are less than half the price of ceramic and much cheaper, of course, than gold. Good luck!

My wife had one, on the private, it cost between approximately �70-00, not a clue on the NHS.

I had one done a few years ago, i opted for porcelain and it cost �300. it was a really big tooth though so i guess it all depends on the size of the tooth and what the crown is made from.

My last NHS one was �70.

I had most of mine bridged/crowned about 10 years ago by a private dentist here in the UK. The options at that time were, per tooth: �50, or �100, or �200, depending on the quality of the product used, not on the procedure. I guess you could increase these by up to 50% to allow for inflation, etc, so this ties in with Annie456's answer. I opted for the �200 ones which may have been made of porcelain, I cannot remember, but I do remember that I paid for them with plastic!

They're still as good as new, incidentally.

this depends entirely on your dentist and if it is part of your 6 monthly treatment or not and if you are private or NHS - you need to ask your dentist.
