Few dental treatments extend the life of the damaged tooth better than a crown. Whether a tooth has broken, received root canal treatment or been weakened by a large filling, a crown can provide protection and restore function.
The dental crown cost in the UK typically ranges from around £600 to £1,100+, depending on the material selected, the condition of the tooth and the complexity of treatment. The tooth crown cost for a back tooth may differ from that of a highly visible front tooth, where aesthetics are a greater priority. Patients comparing porcelain crown, white crown or ceramic crown cost will often find differences in price because materials vary in appearance, durability and manufacturing requirements.
Before a crown can be fitted, the tooth must be carefully assessed and prepared to ensure a precise fit. In some cases, additional treatment may be needed to strengthen the tooth before restoration. Look beyond crown prices to quality of materials, fit accuracy and expected longevity, which will all affect how the crown performs over time.
The cost of a dental crown depends on the condition of the tooth, the material selected and the complexity of treatment required.
Start treatment earlier and spread the cost to fit your budget. You can choose 0% finance for up to 12 months or extended payment plans of up to 5 years. Treatments up to £1000 can also be split into 3 monthly payments via Klarna.

Dr Fareed Khan graduated from Leeds University and has always had a special interest in Temporo-mandibular Joint Dysfunction. He had a paper published on this subject whilst still a student.
After graduating, he spent a couple of years in a Dental Practice but then was resident in hospitals studying Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for 3 years. Fareed then went to the USA for 2 years and studied Maxillofacial Radiology and Cranio-Facial Imaging.
Since then he has worked in our Putney practice and spent 5 years part-time at Eastman Dental Hospital studying Dental Implantology.
He has a special interest in the relationship of the Dental Occlusion to the position of the lower Jaw and the effects this may have on the TMJs and associated structures.
Fareed believes that the bite can affect the jaw position and place strain on the TMJs and jaw muscles, and therefore he has developed a protocol to realign the teeth and repair worn down teeth and replace missing teeth to help support the jaw in its natural position. Many patients have reported reduction in their TMJ and jaw muscle symptoms after this rehabilitation.
He is happy to accept private referrals for patients with these symptoms and offers consultations.
Dr Khan is now studying digital dentistry and believes the future of Dentistry is a holistic approach with the aim of healthy teeth and jaws. He also believes form and function go together so usually the most healthy position of the teeth is also the most aesthetic.
In his spare time he likes to train in his personal gym and spend time with his family.

Explore local dental crown costs across our UK locations, including porcelain, zirconia and bonded crown options where available.
Recovery is usually straightforward, but the tooth and surrounding gums may need a short period to settle after preparation and fitting.
After Tooth Preparation
Once the tooth has been prepared, a temporary crown may be placed to protect it while your final restoration is being made. Mild sensitivity to hot and cold foods is common during this stage.
First 24–48 Hours After Fitting
The new crown may feel slightly unfamiliar at first. Your bite should feel comfortable, but it can take a day or two for the tooth to feel completely natural.
First Week
Most patients return to normal eating habits. Any minor gum tenderness around the crown margin should begin to settle as the tissues heal.
Two to Four Weeks
The crown should start feeling like part of your natural dentition. Chewing, speaking and daily oral hygiene routines generally become effortless again.
Your dentist evaluates whether the tooth is suitable for a crown.
X-rays help identify any underlying issues affecting treatment.
The tooth is prepared to provide a stable foundation for the crown.
The crown material is chosen based on strength and aesthetics.
A custom crown is made to match your tooth and bite.
The crown is fitted, adjusted and permanently secured.
The tooth crown cost depends mostly on the material and aesthetics required. Metal-bonded crowns are often more affordable, whereas porcelain and zirconia are more natural and durable. For example, crown prices start at around £600–£950 for metal-bonded options and for premium porcelain and zirconia restorations, it varies between about £850–£1,050 depending on clinic and treatment requirements at Perfect Smile Dental.
The dental crown price can vary because front teeth usually require more colour matching, translucency and aesthetic attention. Back teeth must withstand greater chewing forces and may require different materials, especially molars. Your dentist will suggest the proper crown based on appearance and function.
Many patients interchangeably use the terms “cap” and “crown”, which is why dental cap price is usually the same as crown pricing. Both are custom-made restorations that cover a damaged tooth. The final fee depends on the material chosen, the condition of the tooth and whether additional treatment is needed beforehand.
The front tooth crown cost is sometimes higher as cosmetic concerns are more important in visible areas of the smile. Front teeth may receive porcelain or zirconia crowns resembling natural enamel. These have good aesthetics and work well with neighbouring teeth.
Patients accept a higher porcelain crown cost because porcelain crowns look natural and are suitable for visible teeth. These reflect light just like natural enamel and are therefore commonly used by patients wishing to restore strength and appearance.
The private dentist crown cost is usually higher because private dentistry offers more materials, cosmetic options and personalised treatment planning. Patients choose private treatment where aesthetics, durability and greater material choice are important factors.
The cost of crown private treatment is usually higher as private dentistry offers more materials, advanced cosmetic options and personalised treatment planning. Patients can often select porcelain, zirconia and other premium materials not always available through standard NHS treatment pathways.
Many patients are happy with a higher white crown cost because white crowns blend in with surrounding teeth. They are most popular in areas of the smile where appearance is important. In consultation, your dentist will go over the materials and recommend the best option for your cosmetic goals, oral health and budget.
The ceramic crown cost is usually higher as ceramic crowns are designed to resemble real enamel. They are attractive, colour-matched and translucent and are therefore very popular for front teeth. Your dentist can explain whether a ceramic crown is right for your smile and treatment goals.
