Suggested crown for my cracked teeth is not affordable

Q. Hi, Today at work one of my back teeth has cracked- it has a 10 year old filling inside. I’ve been advised it’ll probably need a crown. However I’m petrified of the dentist and have to be sedated when I go. How much will the work cost and if I took out private dental insurance, would it cover the work? I know it’ll be about £400 but that’s half my wages so won’t be able to afford it! Please advise in anyway possible. Many Thanks

A. Thanks for your questions, I am unsure as to whether taking out a dental insurance policy at this stage would help, as the need for treatment already exists? However, many detal practice are able to offer payment plans, such an interest free credit. I would suggest that you ask your dentist about the payment plans they have available, or alternatively reasearch dentists in your area who offer suitable schemes. I hope this helps.
Kind regards
