Now, with that information, do you really want a Medicare or Medicaid crown in your mouth? Fascinating how everyone talks about price, but assumes quality.

You don't need to convince me I have spent enough on my teeth to easily buy a new car, maybe two new cars and I don't regret what I've spent. But I talked to a lady who went to the dentist for a broken tooth & she told me the dentist used a pre-fabricated crown? I'd never heard of it before, it looked like stainless steel, she said that's all that medi-cal (California medicaid) allows. I guess they just pick one out that looks close to the right size and cement it on? I had never heard of anything like that in my life- but I'm pretty sure that's what a $300 crown would look like
