I just came from the dentist. An old crown came off during a cleaning, and the tooth had some decay that needed to be cleaned off requiring a new crown. The old crown must have been 25 years old. I don’t really remember.
The procedures have changed a lot. He made digital impressions. There was no putty to bite on to make an impression. It was completely high tech and very expensive. This new crown cost me $1300, and yes, I have insurance. That was my part.
The tooth does not have a root canal, so we’re hoping it won’t become necessary. If it does require one, I’ll have to go to a specialist who will use a microscope to do the procedure.
Anyway, a lot has changed including the cost.
