A crown is a cap, which covers the whole surface of your tooth. It restores the tooth to its original shape, size, and function. A crown can make the tooth stronger or improve the way it looks. It could be made with a metal frame covered by white (tooth colored) porcelain or from a metal free material. Dental crown can only be placed on a natural tooth. If a missing tooth should be replaced a bridge would be recommended.
When and why do I need a dental crown?
A dentist might suggest having a crown in the following cases:
- the tooth is decayed or has a cavity which is too big for a filling
- having problems but still can be saved and no extraction is recommended
- if you had root canal treatment the crown will protect the tooth
- or you can also have a crown for aesthetic reason simply, when you are not satisfied with the aesthetics of your tooth

Katie Pierce Jones12:32 17 Dec 19The whole experience has been second to none from consultation to completion of my dental treatment. The staff are all extremely professional and friendly. I went to Budapest and the appointments were all booked easily, hassle-free. I had 8 crowns at the top front and it has completely transformed my smile. I never know they could look so good! They look perfectly natural too. I am so pleased. The only regret I have is not having had it done years ago! Cant recommend them enough!read more Ekaterina Barkova18:05 16 Dec 19I've been the clinic patient for a while now and recommended it previously to a few of my friends. Their stuff is knowledgable, friendly, professional and helpful. London clinic is situated centrally so it's easy to get to, it's always very clean and well equipped. Vital Europe offers a wide range of dental services from a simple filling to implants, so it's good to be able to complete the treatment in one place. They always offer Budapest option as well, in case one needs to do series of treatments and able to travel so can get it done at a more affordable rate.read more Paul Musgrave13:44 06 Dec 19I was recommended to try Vital Europe by a friend and was not disappointed. From assessment in London to treatment in Budapest, the service was very professional and without problems, using high tech equipment and materials. The price was very reasonable for what was done (3 implants and a late addition replacement filling) and it is always a bonus to visit Budapest! Some may be put off by the tendency for staff to speak to each other in Hungarian while one is in the chair but it didn’t bother me; it is their native language! They speak very good English to patients.read more Cheryl Baden-powell11:47 04 Dec 19Whether you are visiting their London or Budapest Clinic, you will find friendly, helpful and professional staff. The dentistry is pain-free and exceptional, and their aftercare is excellent. They make visiting the dentist a pleasant, worry-free experience at an affordable price. I highly recommend Vital Europe.read more Ralph Weller09:03 04 Dec 19Vital Europe is professional, inexpensive and a convenient and efficient service that has been the best dental service I have experienced. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive and a pleasure to deal with. The clinics in London and Budapest are well appointed with the latest hi-tech equipment and easy and convenient to access. I would have no hesitation in recommending Vital Europe to anyone.read more Colin Bartram11:08 14 Nov 19I was very impressed by the quality of equipment and the detailed assessment provided at the London clinic. I opted for a much greater level of work than I originally intended as the price was no higher than what I had been quoted by a local consultant for a lot more limited work. The arrangements in Budapest were very practical, with the apartment just five minutes walk from the clinic. It was easy to get into central Budapest - no cost for someone my age; my wife accompanied me on two of the four visits and we had a great time sightseeing in this beautiful city.read more David Gray14:53 04 Nov 19I had a fantastic experience at Vital Europe dentists and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a change. I was searching for a new clinic when I came across their website and read their fantastic reviews, so I thought I'd give them a try. This was an excellent decision. Their prices are competitive and all of their staff, from office admin to dentists, were top class. Everyone was helpful, polite and accommodating all throughout my treatment process. The actual dentist treatment itself was hassle & pain free. I will most certainly be back.read more Steve Smith17:18 22 Oct 19Vital Europe have always helpful and positive. My trips to Budapest have been most successful. After treatment it did take a few weeks for all my teeth to settle down, my teeth were uncomfortable during this period. Now, all is well, and I am very pleased.read more Lorraine O'leary19:30 17 Oct 19I found the whole experience very positive. had four implants fitted and had to have bone restoration. The admin staff are fantastic and so helpful and professional. The dental work was great (although yet to have my first check up after fitting). I would highly recommend staying in the vital europe apartments too.read more Andrew Granath17:36 11 Oct 19They are magicians at Vital Europe. 2 years ago my teeth were in a very bad state and my self-confidence was very low as result. Now in October 2019 my teeth look magnificent. I have been to the Budapest clinic 3 times, I was collected at the airport and my treatment has been impeccable and pain free even when I missed a day due to my flight being cancelled. 4 implants with crowns and 2 amazing bridges later I feel transformed. I have a check up and clean very 6 months at the London clinic and only wish that I had made the decision 5 years earlier. The added bonus has been that on each occasion we have stayed a few days extra at the very comfortable Vital apartment and had a short Budapest break. It is a marvellous city.read more Daniel Tabiri15:36 02 Oct 19Always a pleasant visit to London/Budapest offices. Very professional and courteous staff in attendance. Dentists take their time to explain and discuss treatment options tailored to your needs and budget.read more Charlie Beenham22:02 26 Sep 19I have had work from Vital Europe on two separate occasions now, one a dental inplant carried out in the London office and one a crown fitting also completed in London. Since coming to the office, they have been very welcoming and informative in how the process would work and really made it easy for me to cope with. They laid out time scales of the plans and they kept in touch and communicated with me very well to make sure I was happy with the work. All in all the experience has been very easy and would recommend to anyone looking to undergo any dental work. Thanks a lot Vital Europe.read more Joel Wright09:22 26 Sep 19The best dental experience of my life. The staff are calm, polite and friendly and make all feel very welcome. The dental practices in both Budapest and London are wonderful; professional, clean and comfortable. Great coffee too! The dental work I received, some gold inlays, is terrific. I remain tremendously happy with it still years after having it done. I would recommend Vital Europe to everyone.read more Paul Edmunds06:10 16 Sep 19After my initial visit to the London clinic I was most impressed with the professionalism and service of the company. The same must be said for the Budapest office, it was great to see the same dentist and the programme for my dental work was just right.. most impressed with my results at a fraction of the the cost of having it done in the UK. Would recommend Vital Europe to anyone. Many Thanks Paulread more Joslyn Urena20:27 12 Sep 19Great service! Not only did I appreciate their great customer service I received, both in the London office as well as in Budapest, but I was also thankful for the time they took in explaining the different steps of the procedure. The customer rep that managed the account was in constant communication with me which made the overall experience that much more enjoyable.read more Brian Travers11:35 30 Aug 19After searching through many UK dentist I was thoroughly depressed at the state of UK dentistry - expensive, unreliable and low quality. Then I found Vital Europe -they are a highly skilled and professional outfit - way ahead of UK in offering a quality service. Their reassurance and professionalism inspires confidence in all of the treatments and they deliver on all that they promise. They are flexible too. I had my implants done at the London clinic as it was Winter and I feared disruption to English travel arranges for trains and airports. I then travelled to Budapest for five days to complete the crown and bridge work, staying at the Vital Europe apartment - so I had a very pleasant trip and received high quality treatment all at very reasonable prices. If you want quality treatment and a professional service I can thoroughly recommend Vital Europe - go for a consultation with them and you will see what I mean!read more Mike Staines09:37 22 Aug 19Vitaleurope was recommended by my mother, who was very pleased with her implants that were done in Hungary. I had one implant done in London. It was straightforward and barely uncomfortable, and so far it's all good. The cost was better than my previous dentist quoted and the consultation process was professional. Check ups have been straightforward. The staff have been friendly and helpful throughout.read more Kanti Mistry10:36 20 Aug 19I had a bridge and 3 implants done. The whole experience over a period of 14 months was much better than my expectations. The clinic in Budapest is a state of the art set up with professional and friendly staff. I am over the moon with my teeth and having saved more than 60% on the price in the UK, it was well worth using Vitaleurope, even allowing for flights and hotel costs! Strongly recommendedread more Lorraine Brown08:04 13 Aug 19I had 3 bridges and 4 crowns in Budapest and highly recommend Vital Europe. All my check ups are in London and they are very professional and helpful. I used to have a real phobia about visiting the dentist until I followed a recommendation to try Vital Europe and I wouldn’t go anywhere else nowread more MrRobbiesteph4806410:08 07 Aug 19I had a ruined smile and travelled to Budapest for some bridgework. Fantastic all round experience and so professional. I have check ups in the London clinic which again is perfect. Have and would recommend Vital Europe as your first port of call. Thanks Vital.read more David James09:27 22 Jul 19I had seven implants carried out in Budapest (with some preparatory in London) over ten years ago and was very impressed with the standard of care and the efficiency of Vital Europe. I have visited Budapest once since for a repair and also had annual checks in London, which is of course more convenient for anyone living in the south east of England. I am happy to recommend them to anyone contemplating advanced dental treatment.read more John Grant13:08 16 Jul 19It was not necessary for me to go to Hungary but my experiences of the London clinic were nothing short of excellent. They are a well organised and efficient outfit. The new front tooth they gave me is a perfect match in shape, size and colour and their prices are much cheaper than I have seen elsewhere.read more John Kelly11:50 12 Jul 19I had 4 implants and 3 crowns with a bridge done here. I did have a problem with the temporary crowns - I am allergic to the material they are made from, but the dentists at VitalEurope were great. All in all it was a positive experience. I would recommend VitalEurope. P.S. Budapest is a cool city too. Well worth a visit.read more James Henry16:21 20 Jun 192 crowns refitted. Unable to travel due to work commitments, so dentistry performed in London. Was not 100% satisfied with 1st set of crowns, so adjustments were made without issue. The modifications were perfect - immensely happy on seeing final result. Super professional & patient staff - would highly recommendread more Alastair Gray14:59 10 Jun 19I have now had a vital Europe set of implant-fixed dentures for nearly six months and they perform flawlessly. The work was carried out professionally and the dentist was able to work with existing implants. The next best thing to a mouthful of real teethread more Kevin Wilson11:14 07 Jun 19I found every member of staff, both in London and Budapest, friendly and most helpful. Possible language barriers was an initial concern but after my first visit, these were fully put to rest. All staff , including the surgeon and dentists, were fluent in English, again in London and Budapest, and full information about the procedures and costs was provided well in advance and also at the time. The facilities were completely up to date, to my layman's eye, and spotlessly clean. I had a replacement filling, a bridge with false tooth right in the centre of my upper jaw, and an implant molar so i probably had a good variation of the treatments available would have no hesitation in using Vital Europe for any further treatment and i heartily recommend this dental practice.read more
