A ceramic crown for as little as 200 Euros… A housewife from Perth surfed the Internet and her catch was several different pricing examples from Scottish, Hungarian, Polish and Bulgarian dentists. The Hungarians were the least expensive with only 200 Euros per crown. She asked us if this was a reliable offer.
Our advice: „Please ask if the price is all-inclusive, e.g. x-rays and aenesthetics.”
Does the offer for tooth replacement really include a full ceramic crown or is it made of metal-ceramic? This is a very important question. A metal-ceramic crown only has a ceramic facing. The core, however, is made of metal alloy. A full ceramic crown has been completely milled from a ceramic block. It is free of metal and therefore free of allergies triggering substances. Full ceramic crowns also are more aesthetic. It allows the light to shine slightly through, – just like a natural tooth. The Scottish housewife wanted treatment for her front teeth. Hence, this aspect is very important.
The material and the included treatments must arise from the offer. It should be perfectly clear what patients get for their money. More and more, offers almost can be characterized as baits. People should be skeptic, when a full ceramic crown only costs 200 Euros. The bottom line is that you always will pay more. A good price for a full ceramic crown, including examination, diagnosis, anaesthesia and x-ray, is 400 Euros. On the average, compared to treatment in the home country, a patient will save 50%,
