Case Summary
Crown
Teeth: 30
Last Full Mouth X-Ray: August 07
Last Cleaning: over a year
Case Description
I appear to have a cracked tooth in #30, which is pressure sensitive with a clear pain on solid bites. However, it is not currently that bothersome but does need eventual attention. Nothing shows on X-ray. The tooth has a moderate sized filling. I also have some minor decay on lower left and upper right quadrant, which may or may not make sense to do at the same time since they all have different nerves.
Since I do not have insurance, I thought I would like to shop around for a quality dentist who can do a good crown at a good price.

Are You This Patient?
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.
