Dental crown recipients - how much did yours cost?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

:scared:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

1. Oh like no one in the Lounge ever got a crown

come on people - break it to me gently

[DoBotherMe]

2. $700 (insurance covered 90%)

[LynneSin]

3. I had one and I still had to pay for 50% of it with insurance

that came out to a couple of hundred dollars

[shockra]

4. I'm glad you asked that.

I've been wondering about other states. But this is Alaska, so it's gonna be higher and getting to be around $900.

[tigereye]

5. with insurance paying half

3-4 hundred, I think.

[SaveElmer]

6. Insurance paid half

Still cost $542 out of pocket

[Blue Diadem]

7. 15 yrs ago I paid around $400, 4 yrs ago, $800.

Insurance covered 50%.

[Debbi801]

8. I don't know what the full cost was...

but after insurance, I had to pay $650.00.

9. My gold crown was about $500

The root canal that preceded it was about $750

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. No insurance here - this is not what I wanted to hear but pretty much what

I expected. Thanks all!

[Beware the Beast Man]

11. At this rate, the string and doorknob treament might be the way to go.

:(

[DebbieCDC]

12. Crown costs

Insurance pays 40-50%, so my share is $500-$600 (since I just happen to be going to the dentist today to have the new damn piece of porcelin inserted, I have these figures readily available!)

[DS1]

13. 600, it was covered

Boy, do I miss my health insurance

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. me too

[bicentennial_baby]

15. You LOVE that student insurance plan!

I have the same one...what an expensive yet worthless bunch of crap!

[DS1]

16. Oh right!

The STUDENT insurance plan I'm on now - which covers my ambulance ride up to the first three miles. Kinda like getting a tow from AAA. :eyes:

I'm talking about my REAL insurance plan, back when I had a REAL job :D

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Yeah, I miss mine too

and the Massachusetts State Colleges Health Insurance is essentially worthless... poo on it!

[DS1]

18. I'd poo on it, but I might get an infection in the process

and if I have to call ahead and get an appointment, which of course isn't covered, I'll be out even more money!

[Jara sang]

19. $1000 Ouch!

That hurt. Went with gold. It's more malleable than the porcelain.

[NMMNG]

20. $737 Insurance paid 50%

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

23. So you paid $350 or so?

[NMMNG]

31. $368.5 n/t

[Lydia Leftcoast]

21. I got the "uninsured" discount, in which the cost of the temporary

crown was applied to the cost of the permanent crown, and the whole thing, including three office visits, was $800. Ouch. Although it's nice not to have a tooth that's ready to split down the middle. That REALLY hurt.

ON EDIT: The work was finished earlier this month.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Uninsured discount, eh?

sounds nice. I have my appointment at noon. We shall see!

[BiggJawn]

24. $280 for the Endo work, $500 for the actual Crown...

And that's at the Dental School. "Open Market" pricing is about $700 for the Endo and $800 for the gold tooth.

But YMMV, since a report came out that the health industry screws the people in my locale more than anyone else in the state. No explanation.

[NV Whino]

25. $400 +

a painting.

(Cool dentist. But this was some years ago. The most recent ones have cost $800. And it depends on the material used.)

[noonwitch]

26. My metal ones were 100% covered by Delta

I co-paid about $35 for each of the white ones-they are considered "cosmetic" by Delta, even though my dentist told me the materials cost less than the metal. It's worth $35 to have the teeth that are near the front to have the "cosmetic" treatment.

[Deep13]

27. a fucking lot

About $600 for an eye-tooth. That did NOT include the root canal or the post and reconstruction.

[Left Is Write]

28. The crowns I got without insurance were about $700.

That was in addition to the root canal, about $500-600.

I recently had a root canal done with my current insurance. That was a $100 copay; the crown will be a $75 copay.

[gollygee]

29. My insurance paid 80% and I paid $300

it's pretty ouchie. Take some advil before hand!!!

[gollygee]

30. I think the math on that is wrong

I got 2 done at once - I think that's actually for both?
