About dental crown

A dental crown is a custom-made cap fitted over a damaged, weak or heavily filled tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns are one of the most common restorative dental treatments in the UK — often used after a root canal, a large filling, or to improve a chipped or discoloured tooth.

What moves the price
Tooth & treatment typeBack teeth are more involved than front teeth - molars have several canals and bigger restorations, so they cost more.
ComplexitySevere decay or infection, awkward access and re-treatments take more time and skill, which pushes the price up.
Clinic & locationPrivate fees run higher in London and other big cities, and a specialist charges more than a general dentist.
What’s includedCrowns, X-rays or scans, sedation and follow-up visits are often quoted separately - always check the full fee.
