Hello,

I'm just a layman and troll to this newsgroup from Ontario. I
have no denistry background so I'm trying to do a little shopping and
look for alternatives. My dentist is pretty good, however, a little
pricey.

I have a white composite filling that needs to be replaced. It is
being held in place by two pins. Well, the pins now have some decay
around them and now to replace the filling I need a cap. I do not
need a root canal but my dentist wants me to have a white composite
cap made for me at a cost of $800 (approx) where she would take a
mold, give me a temp filling, then give me the new filling once it
comes back from the lab.

In trying to search for an alternative (researching with Google) I
have seen stainless-steel caps mentioned on numerous sites, however, I
am wondering if this is a feasible alternative to the white
composite. The cap is for one of my back teeth, so, I really don't
care if it's white or not.

Any ideas?

TIA...
