Crowns in Croydon
23 dental practices in Croydon publish what they charge for crowns. Half of them ask between £210 and £535 for a tooth, and the middle price is £395 — 21% below the pooled median of £500 across the 3 boroughs where we hold crowns prices. The figures below are those practices' own published fees, read in August 2026, each one linked to the practice and its CQC registration. They are not quotes: what you pay depends on what the examination finds. A crown on the NHS is a Band 3 charge of £332.10.
| Option | Cost (per tooth) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Private — lower | £210 | 25th percentile of published prices |
| Private — typical | £395 | Median across 23 Croydon practices |
| Private — upper | £535 | 75th percentile |
| NHS | £332.10 | Band 3, set nationally |
How this is worked out. Every figure comes from a price list the practice publishes itself. We drop “from” prices, which describe the cheapest possible case rather than a price, and variants narrower than the treatment named. 23 Croydon practices remain. The middle price across all 3 boroughs we cover is £500. How we read a fee guide.
- The Croydon median is £395 — 21% below the pooled median across the 3 boroughs with published crowns data on this site (£500, n=95).
- That makes Croydon the least expensive of those 3 boroughs for this treatment.
- The middle half of prices runs £210–£535 (a £325 range), a wide spread: the borough has distinct budget and premium tiers. The full range is £150–£750.
- 23 of the 84 CQC-registered practices in Croydon publish a price for this treatment (27%); the figures describe those 23, not the whole borough.
- All figures are per tooth, taken from each practice's own fee guide, so they can be compared like for like.
Why do some Croydon practices list under half the median?
5 of 23 published prices are below £198: Croydon Dental Care (£150), Park Lane Dental (£150), Purley Dental Practice (£150). A figure this far below the borough median is often a narrower product than the rest of the table (a single session, a top-up, or an introductory offer) — check what the practice's fee guide includes before comparing.
Why does the same practice name appear twice?
1 name recurs (Purley Dental Practice / Purley Dental Care). The CQC registers each location separately, and some practices hold two registrations at one address. Each row links to its own CQC registration and each row is counted in the figures above; if the pair is one practice, read it as a single price point.

23 Croydon practices publish this fee. Each figure is the practice's own published price, read August 2026; narrower variants (“from” prices, child or temporary work) are excluded. Sorted lowest first.
A low figure is a real published fee, not a quote — complexity can change the price. Always confirm. How we verify
What the price includes
A crown normally takes two appointments: preparation and an impression or scan, then fitting. The quoted price should include the temporary crown, the laboratory work and the fit. Confirm whether it does, because a separate laboratory fee is a common addition.
How long crowns last
A prospective study following 562 zirconia restorations in general practice for fifteen years found a cumulative failure rate of 28.33%. Roughly one crown in four does not reach fifteen years, which is worth knowing before treating a crown as permanent. Crowns on implants ran into more complications than crowns on natural teeth.
The NHS alternative
Crowns fall in NHS Band 3 at £332.10 — the same nationally set charge that covers dentures and bridges. Material choice is more limited than privately, and availability varies.
