The week I got home from the reunion I had a piece of my tooth fall out! It was a piece of from one of my molars on the bottom. It happened at night so there wasn't a lot I could do so I called the dentist's office and left a message. They called my next morning and told me they could see me that afternoon. My tooth was hurting and I just wanted to make sure it didn't either. When I got to the dentist they took an x-ray and said I would need a crown (and unfortunately not the royal kind)!
He didn't think I would need a root canal (good thing) but wanted to know if I wanted to start the procedure with the crown. Of course I said yes! Well he sent his very nice office assistant back to break the news to me on the price! WITH insurance my cost would be $646!! Can you believe that?? I asked how much my insurance was paying and she told me they will pay 50% but on for a gold crown. For a porcelain one they would only pay %40. So, guess which one I went with???
Well's it's not quite all mine yet. I only have a temporary one until the make my new one. So I had to pay half for at the dentist while I was there and then I pay the other half upon installation!
No, I'm not getting the gold one. Sorry to disappoint you.
