Crowns are like women - all different. A gold crown is best, a porcelain less best, a steel is worst, but you get what you want. Fillings are the same - they are charged by whether it's mercury-based amalgam (which can kill you - FDA just admitted today that they've been wrong for 50 years) or white composite material - and the number of surfaces they work on affects the cost significantly. The only comparison I can make with your figures is tooth cleaning, which is now $65 at UCLA. I paid $70 for a single surface composite filling in Anaheim last week and it was $10 less than UCLA. Go figure. Summing up, tooth cleaning looks like a bargain, while everything else needs verification of detail.

I just made an appointment to see the good doctor on SUNDAY. I have LOT of work to do and I will record my expereinces here in this thread. I am no dentist, but I figure my total tab will come in at arounf 7 to 10 thousand dollars.

The appointment tomorrow is a consultation and, believe me, he will have lots to do.
