Is it worth paying a fortune for one porcelain metal crown

Q. I’m really confused by this website. It tells me how cheap dentistry costs in Slovakia, then apparently refers me to Harley Street to ask a question. Well, I need one porcelain/metal crown on LL6 which is currently chipped with no underlying problem according to x-rays. I have been quoted £645 in the UK, including a £150 charge for the temporary crown. Amazing how financially-creative British dentists are. Given I must either stay abroad for 4 (?) nights, or pay for double return flights, is it worth the trouble for one tooth? Thank you.

A. Obviously there is more than one dentist in the UK so it may pay you to find a second opinion if price is the main factor.

My concern with going abroad is, what happens if you get a problem with the crown – do you fly back at more expense and how good is the aftercare
