Reply #12: My crowns are gold and gold ain't cheap

[REP]

Not only are they gold, they have custom posts to fit my unusual fused and otherwise weird roots. My dentist made the impressions for the posts and crowns, and when they came back, did all the work to finish them do they'd fit on my teeth. My insurance covers a lot but not all of it, and I think her prices are more than fair for the work and materials (the lab she uses makes crowns with a very high percentage of gold); my crowns look and feel fine and best of all, I haven't had problems with those teeth.

I've had bad dentists - one reason I need some of those crowns - but good dentists and oral surgeons like the ones I have now are worth what they charge - especially if their prices are fair to begin with. They also make payment plans for the uninsured - I know, because I refer everyone I know to them :-)
