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.

Cost Estimate: $850-950 root canal then $~950 for crown, or ~$200 for extraction,
There needs to be a little more information. If this is as stated, then tooth #16 should be taken out rather than have a root canal. If you are going to have a root canal on #16 then you can expect to pay around $950 for the root canal and about the same for the crown after. It usually doesn''''t matter if you have insurance or not (regarding price) because we cannot charge less money to self-pay patients than you charge the insurance company. This is considered insurance fraud and is taken very serious.You will have to find an endodontist do this if it is truly tooth 16, because most general dentists will not want to do it, or will not feel comfortable doing it.Hope this helps.Lan Allen
