Low Cost Dentist in the Treasure Valley?
Is there such a thing? I just got a crown glued back on. I was in the chair 13 minutes, including several minutes waiting for the dentist. It cost me $114! All he did was clean the tooth and glue the dang crown on! I need more work done, but need a cheaper option. Anybody know of one?

Just as I thought, there is no such thing as a low cost dentist!  |

Well, you have to remember... Dental school isn't cheap. Plus there's the cost of running the clinic, paying the other employees, ect. Unless you're on some kind of government assistance or have dental insurance, any kind of health care is going to be expensive.

Heh heh DesertRyder, they do sell repair kits, but they're temporary, only supposed to last a couple weeks till you can get to the dentist and have it done right. The reason I think it's high is because I posted to a message board, and several people said they had had the same procedure recently for $25 - $50. Maybe they live in a different part of the country where it's cheaper, I don't know.

Were they talking about the entire cost for the proceedure though, or an insurance company co-pay?

Thank you for the info, LadyLisa! I'm in Boise but it just might be worth it to make the trip if it's alot cheaper. How much for fillings and I might need a root canal. Thanks! |
