Travel to Egypt’s ancient city of Giza and take advantage of the low price of dental care across a range of treatments.

Read on to discover some of the best clinics in Giza for dental crowns, with prices and travel information.

The procedure is used to fix teeth that are broken, misshapen or not very attractive. It is considered a flexible procedure and could also be used to strengthen and improve the look of a patient’s smile.

Crowns are frequently used as part of dental implant treatment, acting as a replacement tooth once affixed to a titanium post and adjoining abutment.

The most common types of crowns include:

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns: more durable but least aesthetically appealing

• Full porcelain/ceramic crowns: most natural-looking but least durable

• Zirconia crowns: durable and natural-looking but expensive

While a trip to Giza for a single crown may not be worth the money if you are purely going for that reason, it is possible to make net savings (after considering all travel costs) if you are having multiple done at the same time, or other dental work as part of a smile makeover.

Likewise, if you're already planning a holiday to Egypt and are in a need of a crown, a quick trip to one of our dentists will definitely save you money.

In the UK, a dental crown at a private clinic can cost anywhere between GBP 500–1,000.

In Giza, prices are at least 50% lower:

• A porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown in Giza costs approximately EUR 150.

• A full porcelain/ceramic crown in Giza costs approximately EUR 225.
