Lost a tooth while eating pizza today, won't be too long before the rest rot out of my head. Yes I know I'm nasty and disgusting and trashy.

How much are they? Can you eat and drink like normal? Do they look decent? Recommend me a good dentist in BR who does this. Keep in mind, not an OT baller and don't have dental insurance.

I didn't realize the tooth was that bad. Never felt it.

I have a crown on one of my molars and I hate it. It's come loose once and is sensitive when eating chewier foods.

If you lost a tooth, I think you would need a bridge.

They are close to $1,600 EACH. I have never understood why dentistry is so expensive.

They feel "foreign" in your mouth for a while and eating may feel weird. Getting them on is usually a 2 visit process. 1st visit they will grind what's left of your tooth down to a little stump, take impressions, and give you a temporary. 2nd visit they will set the new crown over the stump.

You're not gonna like the costs you find. My last 2 crowns, 4 years ago, were about $900 a piece with insurance.

I've looked around online and they all say around $1000 per tooth. I think I'll just have to look like a freak for a while.

I have a crown on a molar following a root canal. No issues from it. Works like a normal tooth no issues with loosening. Been about 10 years ish.

No idea of the cost (parents paid for it at the time).


No dentist but yeah if you lost a tooth completely then you would need a bridge or implant($$$) I would think.

Mostly Considered cosmetic so dentists can basically charge what they want...

Got anything else that you plan on treating like shite, use all day everyday, look good, and last years (for less than $1600)?

Same here. I have no restrictions on what I eat nor have I had any problems with it.

Cavities start way before you feel pain from them.

If looking to save some money. Find a way to get dental insurance and a dentist that is in network with them so that even if the insurance doesn't cover much of the cost (they usually won't), you still only pay the fee schedule that the insurance has set with them.

I just had two crowns put in, post root canal and it cost $2400 total. That's with a friends of the dentist deal. Floss people!

From what I can tell insurance usually doesn't cover it because its cosmetic.

Hood Dental in Denham offers payment plans I believe. So I'm sure there's bound to be others that operate in the same manner.
