This was just the first visit - I have to go back just before Thanksgiving to get the permanenet filling in it.

Without the crown the cost will be $1,025. It took the dentist a little under 2 hours,and most of the prep and final work - including the temporary medicated filling-was done by a technician.

I think that is an outrage, and I have no idea what someone with no money would have done - my whole jaw was swollen and I was in constant pain. I don't think anyone could just live with that.
