I have poor heredity for teeth. All sorts of problems. I have crowns with no problem. I just have lots of them as well as implants. It never stops.

I do have a question. I went to my dentist today for impressions for a crown. I waited until Jan so I could get the best insurance benefit. I used up all the insurance from last year.

The cost: Anyone willing to share. I was floored this time around. I think it was 1,200 with insurance kicking in, my bill almost $500. Does that sound right to you all. I even bought more insurance to help me out... obviously not really.

I am wondering what price point you are paying or think you will end up paying.
Not if the price goes up when the patient has insurance

I am in Westchester County, NY. Yesterday one of my crowns fell off so I spent time with my dentist today. I would gladly trade bills with you. I have dental insurance with $1500 annual amount. With deductibles and amount allowed, I am paying $750 out of pocket. I had x-rays, and impressions for a new crown. There was no further decay and the old crown was temporarily re-cemented.

@bonnielu It depends on what type of plan you have, is it insurance or a discount plan, is it a network dentist or out of network dentist, deductibles or co-pays?

With our plan, if we use an out of network dentist, there is a deductible we have to meet and then they will only pay 80% of what they allow to a network dentist.

It all depends on your insurance as to how much you end up paying so its not exactly a fair comparison.

With my insurance paying part of the bill, I still have to pay approx. $1300 for the 2 crowns I will be getting this year. That's total for both, not a piece.

Thankfully I maxed out my FSA and that will cover it with no problems.
