Material. Porcelain-fused-to-metal is cheaper than full ceramic (E-Max) or zirconia, which look more natural and are used for front teeth.
Bridge units. A bridge is priced per unit; a three-unit bridge costs roughly three times a single crown.
A crown usually takes two visits: preparation and impression, then fitting. Same-day CEREC crowns are milled in-house at some practices.
A well-made crown lasts 10 to 15 years or longer. On the NHS a crown is Band 3 (£332.10), the same charge whether one crown or several are needed in the course.
