Subject: RE: BS: Just lost a gold tooth cap
£95 is still pricy, Liz. I'd change my dentist if I were you! I suspect he/she has charged you a non-NHS price. My front crown has come out a couple of times in the last 20 years and each time my dentist just charges me the standard check-up price and fixes it back in with proper dental stuff. £5-ish if I remember rightly.

Oh - just looked up an NHS charge list - A whole new porcelain crown is less than £60. Clearest I could find was Oxfordshires but I believe the NHS prices are the same nationwide. See http://www.oxfordshire.nhs.uk/documents/dentalfees.pdf for confirmation.
