I was just in to the Dentist ang got charged what I think is a really expensive cost for a Root Canal, and a Crown. I needed some feedback on what people have been paying on these procedures at the dentist. I was charged on a Cash Basis and was told that I was given a discount...I have doubts about that and whould like to compare other peoples experiences and cost.

You can't even compare fees in the same professional office building, so you will not receive ANY valid information here. At least it will not be useful for your purposes. You did not tell us which tooth and root canal fees for front teeth and back teeth are hugely different, as well.
If a procedure exceeds $500, I do offer a 5% prepayment discount which applies regardless of the form of payment used - cash, check or credit card. This is a common practice.

Root canal is around $900 and a crown is about $1500.
If you paid more than $2,400 cash...you got taken and I would report them to the American Dental Association.

Have you had it done yet? A root canal itself should cost around $800-1000. I've been postponing my procedure because I've been too nervous. Don't let money be a factor, your health is more important.

I have seven of those procedures under my belt, I opted for gold crowns instead of porcelain which reduced the cost slightly, but I still paid two thousand for each.

Mine cost me about $1300 for both together, in January.
