OT Crown

We went to a apple fest in Gays Mills Wisconson a number of years ago. We proceeded to head for the orchards in stop and wait, move ten foot and stop again. My son was so overjoyed by a Hummer ahead of us a few vehickles. I watched my sons orthadontist get out of the hummer. He owned a few Vets etc. For probably in his mid thirties he must do OK.

I was told by a good buddy that charged me $35.00 for a X-ray that his cost on the film was 35 cents. Yea that was a long time ago as you can see by the price. My wages at that time was probably eight to ten dollars a hr.

Did you elect to go with the ceramic cap rather than just the solid gold crown? Ceramic caps are a gold base with a ceramic outer cover to make the tooth the same white color of the surrounding teeth and therefore are more expensive.

Also if you have insurance and are using an approved dental provider then the dentist must accept the rate allowed by the insurance carrier.

I had one done last July and it was about the same price as yours. I had gum surgery to allow the crown to go further down the side of the tooth and it was the ceramic crown.

They have a lot of office help and office lease fees to pay. There was a dental assistant, two hygienists, an office manager, and a billing person.
