What is a crown tooth?
A crowned tooth is a tooth that has had restorative work using a dental crown. The crown is a cap which sits on top of the damaged tooth, both concealing the damage and restoring the function to the tooth.
Crowns are often used in cases where large portions of the tooth have been damaged due to injury or decay. It is preferred over a filling for its stability and longevity, which makes it a practical solution for repairing a significantly damaged tooth.
How much does a crown for a tooth cost?
For NHS patients, all treatment for a dental crown is covered under Band 3, which totals £326.70. This cost covers the complex treatment type, as well as any other minor dental work included in bands 1 and 2, like a scale and polish, or dental restoration repairs.
For private healthcare patients, the cost of your dental treatment will vary depending on the policy and coverage of your healthcare plan. The severity of the damage, the position of the affected tooth and the material of the crown, which could include:
- A porcelain crown: This type of crown has a natural aesthetic and is durable.
- Zirconia: A preferred material for its strength and natural appearance.
- Gold: This type is very strong but is less aesthetic and is therefore usually used to replace the teeth in the back of the mouth.
