His dentist says he needs a crown. This is what Songbae wrote:
“And that it’s going to cost $2,000! Anyone have any experience getting
one? It’s $1,500 for the crown and $500 for the build-up, whatever that
is. A filling in one of my molars cracked/chipped. The dentist office
says insurance usually only covers 50%. Place was referred to me by
someone in my office.
Sheesh. I should stop chewing ice and flossing more.”
I hate passing up opportunities to give advice, but I honestly know nothing about crowns. Isn’t it sort of an overgrown filling? A toothcap? Maybe he should go to our childhood dentist, Dr. Newton Chang in Bethesda. That guy knew his stuff, and then both of his sons went to school to become dentists.
