Dental Crown Cost in London — 2026 Price Guide
The cost of a dental crown in London depends primarily on the material used and the complexity of your case. At South Kensington Medical & Dental, we offer three main types: porcelain crowns (from £995, or from £497.50 for members), zirconia crowns (from £1,195, or from £597.50 for members), and metal-ceramic crowns (from £1,030, or from £515 for members).
We believe in transparent pricing. Before any treatment begins, you'll receive a detailed written treatment plan with itemised costs — so you know exactly what to expect. Our membership programme (£20/month) offers 50% off all dental treatments, and we offer 0% interest finance over up to 12 months (subject to status, terms apply).

What's Included in Your Crown Cost
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. Complete transparency from consultation to final fit.
Consultation & Assessment
Thorough examination of the tooth to determine suitability for a crown and discuss your options.
Digital Impressions
Precise digital scans for an accurate fit — more comfortable than traditional moulds.
Custom Colour Matching
Your crown is shade-matched to blend naturally with your existing teeth.
Lab-Crafted Crown
Your crown is handcrafted by a specialist dental laboratory using your chosen material.
Temporary Crown
Temporary protection for your tooth while the permanent crown is being made.
Expert Fitting & Adjustment
Precise bonding and bite adjustment to ensure comfort and correct function.
Additional Costs to Be Aware Of
If your tooth requires root canal treatment before the crown can be placed, this is priced separately (from £347.50 for members). A core build-up may also be needed for severely damaged teeth. All additional costs will be discussed during your consultation and clearly itemised on your treatment plan before proceeding.
