Re: fair charge for dental work?


$900 for a Captek crown is certainly within a reasonable range in most
areas of the US.

However, determining 'value' of dental treatment isn't that easy.

Is a Captek crown the best for your particular situation? Are there
better choices for materials? Are the rest of the teeth going to last long enough to make this whole treatment money well spent? Were
alternative treatments discussed with advantages and disadvantages of
each discussed? Will the treatment deliver a comfortable, long lasting
solution to your dental problems?

As most people have stated, 'we' can't tell you the best treatment
for your case.  This sounds like a significant decision.  I shop around
a little just to buy a washing machine (and not just for the lowest PRICE).

Sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you get less.  Even if
you do get what you pay for, is that what you want or need?

 The office manager spelled out all services and prices to me.  I
realize, it's not cheap to run the business.  And I don't mind to pay
for services rendered.    I just would like to know what is fair price
for instance for  Captek crown? Is $900 too much, too little or just
right ?

Thank you all for the replies, hope to see more.

P.S.
