I visited my dentist a couple of weeks ago who said I needed a crown on a tooth which has slowly fell apart, he said my options were to pay £300 privately or get a metal one on the nhs, I said I couldn't walk around with a metal tooth and he siad my only other option was to go private, is this right? Its at the bottom of my mouth about 6 back from the front but will still be visible when I smile. Is this my only option, I don't pay for treatment at the moment but don't really want a piece of metal in my mouth. Why can't it be covered white like others?
