You better shop around. I was in the same situation back in 99, and got a really bad deal. I ended up paying almost 3000 for finishing up the treatment that would have cost me almost half of it in Sweden and the guy did a lousy job.\n\nMake sure you have all the paperwork with you, and if you can get your samples that were done before you started the treatment try to convince you dentist to give them to you.\n\nAnd also, be care full with the American dentists, they have a nasty habit of "fixing" you problem by cutting the side of your teeth to speed up the process, you end up having many problems a few years later.\n\nDentists in the US are either really good or awful, so you should try to find someone who can recommend you a good one, and pick it even if it is a bit more expensive, paying less in the US means you get a 3rd world quality treatment.

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.

No you can't call around and get a quote on a root canal from different dentists.  It's not like buying car insurance. You will not be able to get a price from a dentist without him/her seeing you first. By law they can not quote you a price for a procedure without seeing you first. It's the same thing as calling a Dr. you've never seen before and asking them to diagnose your problem over the phone. It can't be done. There are many types of root canals and they all cost different prices. It also depends on what tooth it is and what kind of crown the dentist will put on it. Most people think there's a set fee for this type of procedure but that isn't the case. It is a case by case scenario and if you feel like the price is too high at your current dentist I reccomend getting a copy of your xray and getting a second opinion.  Normally for a root canal and a crown you are looking at spending around $900 for both. Of course, if you have insurance then the price would be drastically less.  Some dentists have payment plans/options and I would look into that if you are paying cash for this. Good luck, I have had a root canal and crown myself and it's not fun!

I don't know about free, but contact your local health dept and ask them if they have a dental program . Most of them have free clinics for children in school, for low income families and have siding scale fees available too. For adults, they might have one that you could pay as little as 10% of the fee. So, if the bill would be $100 you would pay $10. That is the way they work here in the eastern part of the state anyway. Good Luck.

depends on where you live, in the US it should cost you about 1000 dollars per tooth.

Delta Dental, MetLife, Anthem (BCBS), Guardian, CIGNA.\nMost of these have preferred provider programs that offer a reduced fee if you go ot one of their contracted dentists.  Although some of them dont pay very much to those contracted dentists, so you may not have any in your area.

There are dental access centres in most major towns in Britain, which provide emergency dental care for people not registered with a dentist. They just charge standard NHS prices. If you go on the NHS website there's a page to locate dentists in your area - type in your postcode and it'll bring up a list, if you go through it you should be able to find a dental access centre near you. Generally you can get appointments the same day, or the next day. I would NOT advise that you pull the tooth yourself, particularly if it's very badly decayed as it could easily break when you try to pull it, causing further problems.

Prices vary depending on where about you are in the UK, and whether you are getting private treatment or NHS treatment. They should give you a quote before doing the work! But I wouldn't imagine it cost more than £600 for the treatment. The fillings wil be cheap if you fo for the silver ones. Otherwise the white ones will cost approx £65-£100 (they are not available on the NHS hence why they are so expensive). as for the chipped tooth, that will depend on how severly it is chipped. And where abouts in your mouth the chipped tooth is.

DentAfford has an affordable dental plan. For as little as $6 per month you can obtain substantial discounts -60% or more in some cases- on all types of dental work. Also known as CIGNA Dental Network Access, it uses a pre-negotiated, reduced Fee Schedule.

Where are you? What state?\n\nMost private ins. is bad.  DEfinetly stay away from the HMOs\n\nIf you need a lot of work.  Most Dental insurance will only cover 1 or 2 teeth of major work before maxing out for the year.\n\nIn california there is one being advocated fy the better business Bureau.  It was actually pretty fair.  Try calling the BBB.

Unfortunately the porcelin crowns take a lot of extra work to make so cost much more.  The metal ones are fine, I have one despite initial reservations about it.  I dont think you will find a dentsist that does it within the £189!

it's either care credit or dental fee plan.

Hi,\n \nI appreciate that this isn't strictly speaking in South Yorkshire but a trip to Wakefield shouldn't take too long .\n\nI'm a Dental Hygienist in West Yorkshire, we refer a lot of our patients here for private work...\n\nhttp://www.horburydentalcare.co.uk/practice.html\n\n\nThere website has their private fee list on it, which seems more reasonable than you were quoted, I have seen some really good crowns on some of my patients that we have referred here.\n\nHope this helps, good luck in finding someone !

the waiting list in the UK should not be 2 years unless this is the time that the dentist has rec to have a brace when he is 15 years old, if you do go privately you are looking at around £3000 at least, and remember its not just the time the brace is on ure son will need some form of retainer afterwards, so i would ask ureself is he that commmited for you to satke out such a large amount of cash ... i would personally wait til the time he can get it done for free
