hate to say but afraid that figure sounds about right [even after insurance] - had one last year took two follow-up visits to make sure it fit correctly - just tell em up front want to make payments say like $200 over four months, in this economy they will definitely work with you...
theyll have it so numb, honestly you won't feel a thing but it takes a LONG time [compared to say fillings] so spend an extra $35-$40 out of pocket and get the nitrous oxide to keep your mind occupied - GOOD LUCK !!
oh yeah, ask for GOLD cause they don't chip like porcelain [like on jolly ranchers] and more fun to look at anyway lol...

Never had one, don't know what to expect during the procedure and after. He said my crown would take 2 weeks to complete and I would be fitted with a temporary crown. Anyone out their been thru a root canal?
Ok now this part. I asked to see what it would cost. She runs the sheet and it is going to cost $1,882, and I am responsible for $882 of it. Now I realize that I only pay a few dollars a week for my Dental Insurance but come on can't you help me out a little more then that? I would be more then happy to pay 25% but this seems excessive. Am I off base?
