How much does a dental crown cost?

Q.
My new dentist has advised me to have root canal treatment on a pre-molar tooth followed by a crown in a few months. He said that the crown would be either silver or gold which I am not happy about as I feel cosmetically it will be quite ugly (I already have a gold crown which I’m very unhappy about). Can I get a white crown on the NHS under Band 3, or can you give me an idea what it will cost privately?
A.
Hi,
cost for white crowns range from 400- 600 pounds for that tooth.

hope this helps

Thanks for your reply. Is that the cost for private dental treatment? I’ve just found some costs on the NHS website so it appears I could get a white crown ……?

I was recently quoted for 5 dental crowns on my upper front teeth and a bridge between two of the teeth. When they went to install the crowns it turned out they made one big bridge. Is this something that is normally done? I am concerned Im not getting what I paid for because I paid for 5 individual crowns?

Generally you pay per unit- whether that is for single crowns or for the false parts of a bridge. It sounds as though your dentist has been completely fair
