Dentist, hospitals and doctors are not regulated in the US. Neither are the car dealers or oil companies. They know they can rip you and do they do it merrily.
My friend makes the crowns for the dentists. Avg. cost on a crown delivered to the dentist is $109.00.

I go to a fancy NY dentist who doesn't take insurance. He doesn't have to. $3000/crown. That's what you pay. With the root canal and the post, it's over $5000 for one tooth. Dental insurance -- even a "good" policy -- only pays $2500 a year. T-ts on a bull! Advice: Brush, floss, and DO NOT SMOKE... if you smoke, don't complain about the cost of dental care. Get the best care you can afford. Don't go to dental schools unless you are desperate. Good luck to all.

Cerec blueblock crowns

Which Tooth: 1 & 2, rt top molars
Type of Crown: Cerec blueblock
No insurance subsidy, total cost. Cerec blueblocks are highest strength, good for chewing & grinding teeth like molars.My experience showed mouth acid is corrosive to the metal underlayment of porclein-fused crowns, causing leaks and potential damage to the tooth "stump" underneath, even to the point of root canal and recrown. Cerec is one solid porclein chunk milled at the doctor's office,kinda like ice sculptures are one solid chunk of ice; mouth acid has absolutely no corrosive effect to the bonding or structure of cerec crowns. This will be about my 4th and 5th cerec crowns, recommended.

Which Tooth: Lower left molar
Type of Crown: porcelain
Great dentist. He does everything in one visit. He has his own "mill machine" so in April 2014 when my molar broke, I paid him $ 1200.00 to have that tooth "capped".
April 2018 (4 years to the day) the cap broke again. I was not eating at the time. I was watching TV.
Back to the same dentist. Two & one half hours later, I had the cap replaced and $ 1250.00 of my money went to the dentist. Insurance company refused to pay a penny. Crowns, should last at least 10 years and therefore, my insurance company will not pay to replace the cap. The broken cap is 4 years and 4 days old.
My dentist gives 100 reasons why the cap broke but my insurance is not interested. They sent me so many studies that the average life span of a cap on molar is 11 years.
My dentist is great. But I will not go for him for a cap in the future

Which Tooth: Upper Rear Molar
Type of Crown: Porcelain
This is what my dentist charges. This usually takes 3 visits. When you first see the dentist and get an X-ray, it is a consultation visit. The time to do the first part of the crown takes about two hours so that is why the dentist does not do the work when you first see them unless they are not a busy dentist. Usually the good dentists are busy. You have to schedule the two days it takes to get the work done. The first part entails numbing you up, preparing the tooth, taking the mold for the crown and placing the temp crown. It takes 1-2 weeks for the dentist to get the crown back from the lab and the last appointment entails, numbing the tooth, cementing and adjusting of the permanent crown. That takes about an hour.

I am so tired and disgusted at the price of dental work. I have no insurance, never have, and I am self employed. I am looking at replacing 2 crowns due to cavities beneath them. I also need a root canal and crown on another tooth, but am opting to have it extracted because of the cost. This situation is very stressful. When you see people with lots of missing teeth, I understand why. Something needs to be done to help low income people keep their teeth.

Admitted not being to a dentist in probably 10 years. I absolutely loathe them. Finally after starting to have some dental problems,I researched many dentists in area found one nearby in same town,state of the art place,5 star rating among 50+interviewed. So I bit the bullet,lol,and made the dreaded,appointment! 4 hours first visit. Made it known I did not want to anything more than necessary so I can eat comfortable. I am 73 years old and not making a long term investment in my mouth.
Next appt. 3 hours....bear in mind I had only seen the dentist now about 3/4 of an hour during thsee visits. The rest of the time was with staff. Upon asking staff about schooling and such found out no schooling. Trained by dentist to put make and put in temporary teeth and cleaning,adjustments,etc. This kind of did not sit well with me. So after all is said and done I walked out if there with a 9000.00 bill!charged to Wells Fargo!Yipee!

Type of Crown: Porcelain
Came into to the dentist office with severe pain on upper molar. I knew I had a cavity and thought I'd get a filling. Dentist said he was going to do a crown. Cost was going to be $1264 with my insurance (Cigna) paying 50%. After I questioned why it was so expensive, dentist told me about an option to do a filling which is an intermediate step to getting a crown. Filling cost $75. Lesson - always good to ask what other options you have to make sure you are not paying more than you need to.

Had a crown put in in 2013 over a lower right tooth w a dentist in Missouri City,TX.Some dental offices had outrageous quotes of $1,800 per crown.
I ended up paying $1,340 out of pocket. The crown has held up well. A buckle and filling fell out 2 wks ago and had a Pearland,TX try and save my tooth today by placing a crown in. Another $1,340!

Which Tooth: 30
Type of Crown: composite
After years of not going to the dentist, I was terrified and booked an appointment at, what seemed, the fanciest and most advanced place in town. So I was terrified again when the verdict was 2 crowns and many other fillings. Just had my first crown today along with 2 fillings. 3.5 hours in the chair. Except...that's it...I'm done. They have a 3D printer on site, use a small camera to map a 3D image of your tooth, do some manual tweaking, and did a check for fit and bite with the printed tooth before sending it to be "baked"/cured. The crown and build up cost $1034. My insurance paid about half and I used my HSA for the rest. Insurance through my husband but as I'm self-employed, getting those hours from multiple appts back means I can run my business more consistently. I'd definitely recommend this new tech-y method to anyone. The drilling process was no worse than a cavity and the impression/application was painless...just a bit of waiting.

Which Tooth: lower right molar
Type of Crown: porcelain
Had to sand down a molar that had a slight crack, went down to 2 cm? so the remaining tooth is a nubbin. Crown was $1375 but my dentist is out of network so my cost was $687.50. Now there is a fistula at the gum line and I think I need an extraction so the whole expense was for nothing :(
