Porcelain Crowns Abroad in Spain — Same-Day Metal-Free Crowns
Porcelain crowns abroad at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia cost from £355 per tooth — compared to £700–£1,200 at UK private clinics — with a same-day option using CEREC technology that eliminates the need for a second visit. Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero, specialist in restorative dentistry, places pure ceramic crowns with no metal substructure — producing a natural translucency and eliminating any risk of dark margins at the gum line.
A crown is indicated when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be restored with a composite filling — replacing the entire visible part of the tooth above the gum line. Porcelain crowns at Asensio are available in three types: pure ceramic same-day crowns (milled in-clinic using CEREC), zirconia crowns and metal-ceramic crowns — each suited to different clinical situations and aesthetic requirements.
The first consultation is completely free and includes a clinical assessment and personalised treatment plan. Call us on 0800 048 8058 or email office@dentalasensio.co.uk to book.

Frequently asked questions
How long do porcelain crowns last?
Porcelain crowns typically last 10–20 years depending on material and care. At Asensio all crowns carry a 5-year guarantee covering material defects and manufacturing failures. See our dental guarantee for full terms.
What is a same-day crown?
A same-day crown is milled in-clinic using CEREC CAD/CAM technology from a digital impression taken at the appointment. No laboratory is involved and no temporary crown is required — the final restoration is fitted in a single visit. This is ideal for UK patients who want to complete treatment in one trip to Valencia.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases yes. Root canal treatment removes the pulp from inside the tooth, leaving it more brittle and prone to fracture. A crown placed over the treated tooth protects it and restores full function and appearance.
Can I get a crown on a dental implant at Asensio?
Yes. Porcelain and zirconia crowns are available as the prosthetic component placed on top of a dental implant abroad. The implant crown is included in the single implant price of £850 at Asensio — see our price list for full details.
