Question:
Does anyone know what the average price should be for crowns, bridge work
etc? I was wondering what price a person paying cash would pay per
porceline crown. Does anyone have a clue?
Answer:
I just Paid $1000 each for two in Florida
Around $900 for a crown.If you're paying cash most dentists will make
a deal to charge you less.
I got a 7 tooth porcelain bridge for $2400.00. I was charged $350.00 per
tooth. There are 6 crowns and 1 fake tooth in the bridge.
Even if it is a good price i can't help thinking how much dope I could
have bought!
You got a deal mate!
The going rate for bridgework is the number of teeth involved x [usual
cost of crowns per tooth]
Are you in the US? I could see if you were in the UK or some other med
subsidized country
In most areas you can get a crown for around 6- 700 each for a porcelan
on base
for one on gold or precious metal it is a bit more
and if you have a dental discount plan you can buy for around 75 bucks
the cost drops to around 4-470 with cash
Then there are dental schools that I just went to for a full go
over--(checkup)
They give great prices on expensive things like implants and crowns and
the like
Half to one third the rate of normal docs and those students really
do their best because their grade rides on it and it isnt like there is
no doc around to
check every little thing
Not only that but the quality of products used where I am going is top
notch as
there is a huge variance in quality of crowns and implants
I just had two root canals, with gold/porcelain crowns. I also had two
cavities drilled and filled during these visits. A total of 4 trips
that lasted over 7 hours. Total price around $650 USD.
This was with a US educated and trained doctor by the way... meaning
proper use of anaesthesia and concern for minimizing pain
It is possible to have teeth extracted here for around $3 US / per from
less skilled practitioners, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
