Hi Mark. I would like your advice. I want to know the best material with regards to dental crowns. What price should I be looking at? I am currently undergoing dental treatment in hospital and I need a crown? I would like to know what material you use so I can tell my dentist. It’s difficult being from another country to know what works best and where to obtain these materials. Thank you in advance for your reply.

I Would Like To Know Which Material Is Best For Making Dental Crowns? How Much Does This Cost?
Monday, September 29th, 2014I would like to replace my gold crown and wish to know more information about the crown and the cost involved.
Thursday, February 14th, 2013 Hello Dr Moore. Today I have been for a check up with my dentist. I was informed that I needed a new crown. The present one is gold. The tooth that needs the crown is at the back of my mouth. I am a NHS patient I wanted to have a gold replacement however, I was adviced that the NHS do not replace gold crowns with gold and If I wanted gold I would need to be a private patient. Instead I would now have to have a silver.on NHS so I asked what materials and metals were in the crown . The dentist was not able to answer my question.Nor could anyone else at the surgery. I was told to check online.
Also I was asked to pay for the treatment before any work would take place. I have paid £209 is this usual practice? I have never paid upfront before.

How much would the filling treatment cost if I went privately?
Friday, April 9th, 2010Hi, I have a 9 year old son who has chipped his front tooth. My dentist said he can either do it on the NHS or if I go private he can spend more time polishing and matching the filling. Of course because my son is so upset I want to recieve the best job possible. What should I expect extra for going private?Will i be far less noticeable & durable? I can’t help feel that I’m being taken advantage of and that my son should get good dental care for free.,
