@mike-marks I got four including sedation for $5,900. ?ÿDiscount bulk rate.
I'm not surprised, I'm stuck in 2015 prices. You could buy a 3D printer and make yer own tooth for the current price. ?????ÿ
I have dental insurance so only co-pay $350.?ÿ Sure takes the sting out of it.
I realize I'm late here, but why did you need antibiotics for a crown? They usually just grind what's left of the misfortunate tooth, glue something over the stump that resembles a tooth, charge you $1500 and give you a toothbrush and 3.5" of floss in a container that will hold 3500'. ?????ÿ
Au Contraire my friend!?ÿ A typical lost wax crown matches the original tooth to about 75 micrometers.?ÿ That's 0.00025 feet for us surveyor types. The new digital impression procedure is good to about 55 micrometers and doesn't involve lying there with a mouth full of clay in trays for 20+ minutes, taking about 30 seconds or so with a laser scanner.?ÿ Dentistry has come a long way since I was a kid.

My dental surgeon recently got one of those, and I was an early victim.?ÿ I found the process slow (lots of rescans to get the scan registrations right) and uncomfortable (the scanner head is big enough that getting it around all sides of the teeth entailed a lot of pressure on the gums).?ÿ And then they took impressions anyway.?ÿ The surgeon said that the scan is great for rough-modeling the overall configuration of teeth and jaw, but not near accurate enough to design implant geometry.
@jim-frame It may not work well with implants, but my dentist has had one for 7-8 years and had it figured out by the time I needed a crown.?ÿ I love it.?ÿ In and out in about 3 hours with no follow on appointment for them to pry the temporary crown out of my noggin.?ÿ Overall less pain and aggravation.
