dental charges

[johnny37]

How much should I have to pay to have a metal crown replaced with a white one? My dentist is nhs but will do private work if asked.

The cost will depend upon a number of factors including...
1) The type of crown fabricated (there are many types of 'white' crown)
2) The laboratory used to construct the crown
3) The dentist's hourly rate
4) Any other treatment needed, such as a new core or post system to retain the crown.

Why not phone and ask them?

Ive got an appointment next Tuesday for normal check up. Front teeth are good but I have five metal crowns due to broken teeth at the back which do show when I smile. I should have had them white when they were first done but thought they would not notice. Now Im a but older I want to look good!! I just wanted to be prepared for a shock..
