I'm asking this because it seems I pay a small fortune for a crown following a root canal. The cost of the root canal seems reasonable to me, but the crown cost seem very high.

Wondering about the cost of crown work you've had done recently (including a build-up)? Just the total cost of the crown, not for the root canal if you had that too.

I know there are different materials that can be used, and maybe that makes a difference in cost. But from my own experience the cost hasn't varied much no matter what material the crown was made of.

Would you share your experience?

Dental costs in Austin are above average. Crowns in many other areas are $1000. OTOH, haircuts are cheaper than average. Glass half full?

This is about what mine cost (i paid half with insurance). I wonder if there is much variance in costs with other dentists. I keep hearing of costs of as low as 1,000 but don't know who the dentists were.

There is a new place called Simply Crowns near Lakeline Mall. They advertise any tooth crown for 599 (highest quality). I am going to check into this, and need to see what they are calling "highest quality". They get great online reviews. I need to see what this includes. I just get the feeling that I'm overpaying for crown work. I like my dentist, but after just paying for 2 crowns + root canals lately - it was a budget buster.

Has anyone had any experience with Simply Crowns?
