Q. My dentist recommends a titanium implant at £1634 for a missing incisor. He says this will also require an anterior crown at £1500. This seems expensive for a crown. What sort of quality ought I expect for this sort of money?

A. Dear M

A very good crown
While judging on cost alone is not easy to asses the worth, the quoted fees give you a lot of scope. Birmingham average implant & crown charges are around £1800 -2800 at the £1800 end you are often charged the assessment fee +/- bone graft fees in addition. Also the dental implants“>implant manufacturers are of varying costs and quality. I personally use an expensive system for me to buy but over 10 years personal experience with Astratech
