Just checked my dentist's website and its €700!

That's bloody crazy expensive.

No idea if that's the norm.

Thanks for that. Il probably have to bite the bullet and get it done.

A free oral examination every calendar year and free emergency dental treatment for relief of pain and sepsis are available to all eligible patients. This includes 2 fillings per annum and all extractions.

Not that I was singling out just the crown as there are other fees involved as doubt you would get off with a simple 700.

Are you telling me that it don't whatsoever?

As far as I know you or your dentist can apply for special circumstances to the HSE and they will decide but you probably know that already oh mighty oracle.

Medical cards dont cover crowns:)

I have one on my front tooth. Was like 700 I think, its not great I have broken it twice kind of chipped it at the bottom, and the discoloration on my tooth is showing through.

Currently I have braces on when I get them off in 2 months Im getting my teeth whitened and a new crown fitted that's less opaque and whiter. One issue with it though is I will have to get yearly teeth whitening to ensure the teeth match the crown
