Price shoppers are the worst\n\nI get this question all the time on the phone.\nHow the heck can a dentist tell you how much it will cost to get a filling over the phone?\n\nHow many surfaces is it?\nHow phobic are you?  Will you need nitrous? \nhow deep is it?  Maybe it will need  a root canal?\nMaybe your picky and obsesive and will not be happy with\na metal filling. \n\nSmallest  filling  1 surface    $75\nImplant Crown and bone Grafting $5000\n\nhow much will it cost, . . Sheeeeessssh\n\nGood luck \nGo to the cheapest dentist in town and get the cheapest work, yeah that makes sense.

You were not damaged, so there is no basis for bringing charges.  You were just inconvenienced.  Start by asking for some of your money back.  Your dentist would probably be just as happy to see you go elsewhere, too.  If your dentist is not agreeable to this, contact the state dental association for your state (in the Yellow Pages) and see if there is a Peer Review Committee.

If I were you, I would get a 2nd opinion. And when doing so- Do not tell the dentist you are seeing about any of the prices you've already been quoted. The price $900.00 is about right for a crown, compared to my dental office (where I work). Let  me tell you that $1800 for one tooth to be extracted is ridiculous!! It is more expensive with being put under with the anestesia. But if your husband is comfortable being at the dentist and he can handle being awake, I would advise him to go without the anestesia. Extracting a tooth doesn't take that long. Most of the time is used waiting on the numbess to settle in enough so he will feel no pain. I hope I helped!

If you get them through the dentist they are probably exspensive, if you buy it at the Drug store or where ever they sell them i think they are around $20

This treatment is considered - cosmetic service so it's not covered by any insurance.  You can get financed by a plan that works with your dental office.  Ask them if they use one and you can pay the finance company in monthly payments.

You probably have got a cavity. You need to go to your dentist and get a filling.

You can wait. Dentists have this thing where they try to "catch a cavity early" even if it's not serious. That's just more money they're putting in their pockets to have it filled. I brush, floss, and rinse after every meal everyday and when I went to the dentist last week, they just happened to find two cavities. My teeth have not been bothering me at all. Unless it starts to bother you, then you can probably wait.

I'm not sure where you are at, but you can go to the pharmacy and buy something called Dent-temp, it is a temporary filling material that will help protect your tooth until you can get to a dentist.  I know you aren't supposed to, but I had to use it once myself for about 4 months.  You have to replace it about once a week.  But it only costs a few dollars for the product, and a little goes a long way.

I am a dentist.\n\nYou didn't pay $800 for two fillings.  You paid $800 for an office visit, x-rays, maybe some other services, and fillings.\n\nWhen you go to a physicians office, do you ask for an itemized list of everything you will be charged for?  Of course not.  So why would you expect this from a dentist?  He/she, like your physician, is running a doctors office and has to do multiple things to diagnose and treat your problem, and simply cannot take the time to explain every damn thing to you.  You seem to view a visit to the dentist like a trip to your auto mechanic.\n\nIt's your responsibility to ask.  You are the derelict who has financial woes and yet failed to ask, "Doctor, how much will this cost me?"\n\nFurthermore, it is your responsibility to know your insurance benefits, not your dentist's.  If you don't know, your dentist's staff would have been happy to determine this for you.  You, of course, failed to ask.\n\nI can understand you're upset with the bill.  But try to remember that your dentist did actually cure you of two diseased teeth.

I'd say go to Tuscon and have a dentist check it out. Better to have it done now then wait. In phoenix the upper denture cost about $1500.00 and lower partial about $700.----$1200. depending on if you want metal or what they call a "soft partial" made of acrillic. Then too, you can go to Nogales for about half that price or less. I hear they do just as good of work as here. Just have to find the right dentist. Good luck

1. Temporary removable partial denture ($300-500):won't last forever;does not fit as well as a permanent partial;it's the cheapest option and it takes the least effort\n\n2. Permanent removable partial ($600-900):lasts as long as you take care of it;bulkier than temporary partial;takes some getting used to;requires drilling on teeth and multiple appointments\n\n3. Fixed Permanent Bridge ($2500-4500):requires reducing teeth on either side of missing teeth;must wear a temporary for a few weeks while permanent porcelain bridge is fabricated;does not come out unless you don't take care of it via flossing/brushing/careful diet;does not last forever (15 years would be really great)\n\n4. Implants ($1500-3000 per missing tooth):not for everybody;permanent titanium posts drilled into bone;porcelain crowns/caps cemented onto posts;requires a lot of care and maintenance;no drilling on healthy teeth;expensive to redo if the implant fails\n\n5. Do nothing: patients often forget that doing nothing is always an option.\n\nI would recommend getting a temporary partial just to see how you can handle a removable device.  It will give you some teeth to fill the spaces for esthetics in the interim.  Find a dentist that you trust to give good advice and evaluate your case with xrays and diagnostic models and photos...

About 3 - 4 thousand dollars...I had braces and that was the coverage for the three years.  It really helped my teeth!

4 to 8 hundred should cover it at a low cost dentist.

There is a company that offers dental benefits that can save you up to 80% on your dental work. I know they have great savings for that. \nIt costs $11.95 for the benefits package but well worth the savings. They also offer Free Prescription, Free Vision and Chiropractic Care is all included in the $11.95.\n\nGood Luck,\n\nChristy

Lady! you have got some good ole  Tori.  Your dentist is correct. Cost somewhere between $200-300 per side.  Believe me it is worth it. A hard denture riding on those bones would be worse then a bur under the saddle of a horse. You should heal in about a week and the dentures will fit better.  But remember a lower denture will never fit very well.  The tongue, lips and floor of the mouth will make that baby jump around the rest of your life.  I personal recommend that you see about having implants placed to help stabilize or anchor that thing in.  Never get mad at a dentist for a poor fitting denture. It will never be as good as real teeth.
