izwal.. #1 / 5	Am i getting hosed by my dentist?? I was talking to a friend the other day about how awesome my dentist is. The subject of cost quickly comes up. I tell him it costs me 1k for a crown. 500 from insurance and 500 from my own checkbook. Now this isn't an ordinary metal crown. they take a "cast" and match it to my teeth. Looks just like the real thing. The dentist tells me if the tooth breaks (its allready had a root canal) it would cost me ALOT more to have it fixed unless i go this route soon. What do you guys think? Any comments, complaints or flames are appreciated. -isaac ********************** Binary tranfer begin ******************** 01100110 00110011 01100001 01110010 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01101100 00110011 00110011 01110100 00100000 01101110 01100101 01101011 01101011 01101001 01100100 00100000 01110011 01101011 01101001 01101100 01101100 01111010 *************** End Binary joke *****************

Looks just like the real thing. Cool. Are you getting hosed? Assuming he is not a volunteer fireman, NO! A fair fee is the fee that buyer and seller agree upon. A good crown is priceless. A poor crown will trouble you forever.
