Case Description
I've recently had a root canal and the dentist has burned through my $1,500 annual max. I still need to get a crown and was quoted nearly $1,600 for a crown on the #18 molar. Is this high?

When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I am assuming that the $1600 includes an estimate for a post, core and build-up in addition to the crown. If this is the case, then the estimate is probably within a few percentage points of normal for a downtown Seattle practice. Down here in Auburn you may save about $150-200 for the same procedure but that probably would not help to justify the cost of travel and the inconvenience of lost time. If there is sufficient tooth remaining you may not need the post, core and build-up portion of the estimate. That may save you about $400.

Our fees are not the highest or the lowest and our office stands behind our work. Our fee for porcelain crowns range from $1050-$1082. If a build up is required there would be an additional fee of $326.
