I had a filling fall out a few days ago.   I went to my dentist and was told that there was a cavity in the tooth again and I needed it to be refilled and since it is a large cavity he saying I should have it crowned.  The filling cost is not so bad but when he told me that the crown would be $1075.00 I about died.

My dental crown is chipped so that you can see some metal.  It is in the back and the tooth itself is not hurting me at all.  I just would like to get a new crown.  I had that crown for over ten years.  I have dental insurance that will pay out 60% of the cost for a crown.

So I have an PPO dental insurance plan that I get though my job.  It has a 1500 year max limit and for majors only covers out 50%.  I was shopping dental insurance and notice that my dentist is listed on this HMO plan I saw.  It looked really good because the crown I need is only $380.00 and my dentist charges $700.00 for the crown.

I have a bad back tooth it is the last molar on the bottom right side of my mouth.  I seem to be always having problems with that tooth on and off.  I went to the dentist that said he could  save it by doing a root canal and putting a crown on it.

What I would like to  know is whether or not there is a fee or cost guild line set for dental services?  I do not have dental insurance so I pay in full for my dental needs.  However now I need to have more then just a cleaning.  I either need to have a root canal and a crown done or the tooth pulled and a bridge put on.

I am looking for an insurance plan that will cover the cost of two dental crowns  and a root canal.  I need a dental insurance plan that will pay out at least 80% with no waiting periods.  All I can find are dental insurance plans going up to %50 coverages but with a year waiting period.

I have dental insurance but it will not cover for my crown until another four months goes by.   My crown fell off so I need to have it replaced.  Can the dentist put back my crown that fell off until my waiting period is over for me to get a new one?  I will wait out my waiting period since I do not have the money to pay for a new one.  If the dentist can not put back on my old crown will my tooth be okay for another four months without one.  What should I do?

What will a dentist do to fix a cracked tooth?  I noticed a few days ago that I cracked my tooth on a bone.   I can see a light line going down the side.  So I made a dental appointment.   I will be able to see the dentist in three days from now.  I am eating really soft foods because I am afraid to brake off my tooth.    What will the dentist do to fix it?  Will I need to have a crown or can they just use bonding or something like that?

Can not afford dental care, letting my teeth rot.

I currently have two abscessed teeth that I am sure needs to be pulled and about six cavities that need to be filled. I am on the low side of low income with no dental insurance.   The amount of dental work that I need to have done will cost me more then I can save in four years!    There are no caring dentist that are willing to help me I know since I called five in my area who all said that they would only be able to give between 5  to 10 percent discount if I pay in full.   Please there is no way I can paid cash in full and they think they are doing me a favor.

I am trying to find out information for my friend.  She has two baby teeth that never had adult teeth come in.  She is twenty five now and will never have adult teeth for those two baby teeth.  So I am wondering if she can have adult size crowns put on baby teeth to make them look more appealing.  If not what else could she do that would not be too costly.

I went to the dentist yesterday for a crown thinking that the insurance I have would cover me since it stated it cover 50% of the cost for crowns.    However after the work was started I found out that I had a waiting period for the crown and I still have two more months to go before the company will pay out on one.

Hello, I need to have three crowns.  all in three crown would be for my molars which are in the back of my mouth.  I want to have the metal or silver crowns because they are $250.00 cheaper that is a saving of $750.00.  The silver crowns I can afford without to much financial worries.  The white crowns I would need to put on a credit card and god only knows how long it would take me to pay off that bill.

What do you do when you have dental insurance but the cost of all the services you need still exceed what you can afford to spend.   I need two root canals which will need to also have crowns, and four fillings.   I have been putting off having the dental work I needed until I got dental insurance though my job.

I Have a old crown that just fell off three days ago.   I went to the dentist that originally put the crown in many years ago.  He told me that he can put it back on as a temporally fix, but that I need a new crown as soon as possible.

I am having to have two crowns done with a filling here and there.  My dentist told me I should not keep putting it off or I will need to get a root canal which will only cost more money.  Okay so he scared me some about the work I need.   Right now I do not have dental insurance.   Is there any dental insurance plans,  I can get which would be okay with me knowing  I need this dental work done?
