Package prices are divided by the number of teeth or arches they cover. Exchange rates: Fixed for v1. EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD and THB are cross rates from the European Central Bank euro reference rates of 30 Oct 2026 (EUR/USD 1.1172). CRC from open.er-api.com (1 Nov 2026). The original price and currency are always shown.
Travel: trips and days
Assumption: crowns use the same lab process as porcelain veneers (4–6 days). Work out flights and hotel with the trip cost calculator.
Risks and what to check
- Crowns remove most of the tooth. The BBC reported that crowns can involve filing 60–70% of the natural tooth and quoted UK dentists who would not place 20 crowns on healthy teeth for cosmetic reasons (BBC, 2022).
- More crowns can mean more root canals later. The same report notes crowns raise the risk of root canal treatment and extraction over time.
- Ask for the material and lab (zirconia, E-max, metal-ceramic) in writing; prices differ by material.
Questions to ask any clinic
- Who exactly will treat me, and what is their licence and registration number?
- What is the written treatment plan, tooth by tooth, including whether each tooth gets a veneer or a crown?
- Which material, lab and implant brand will you use?
- What is included: scans, X-rays, temporaries, extractions, grafts, sedation, hotel, transfers?
- How many trips and how many days per trip?
- What guarantee do you give, and who pays for flights if something needs fixing?
- What records (X-rays, scans, implant details) will I take home for my own dentist?
