need crown for tooth (Belton: travel, work, art)

[jthomas45]

Sorry for such a boring subject ,but got a price of $ 1,100.00 and a touch freaked out ! Why is it so pricey ? Does anyone know of a DDS that can do it for less ?
PLus I have a 20 year old who needs her wisdom teeth out and that 150 a tooth , so wondering if anyone knows of a less price ?
thanks

That sounds like a deal. My dentist quoted me $350 for a tooth extraction, and it wasn't even a wisdom tooth. My best advice is to travel to a small town to have work done. My dental work is now being done in Belton. It's saving me a few thousand.

I would try to negotiate. I just found out this morning that I need a crown for a cracked tooth, and a filling replaced. Granted, I am in suburban Denver right now, but my Dentist is going to do both for $700. This guy is young and right in the nice part of my suburb. I'dd see what you can do before agreeing to that.
