How much are dental crowns in the midwest after insurance coverage of 60%?

Question

I need to have 3 crowns made for 2 molars and 1 bi molar. My insurance is covering 60% of each crown.

I had 3 root canals totally around $500 after 80% insurance coverage, done by a endodontist.

I gave my dentist $180 when I had the perm filling put in and will be giving him $540 when i am fitted for the crown. He had to insert a post into the molar. Is this about the correct costs after the 60% insurance coverage? This is only for 1 crown and Ill have 2 more to cover. I have yet to see any insurance claims on the insurance company website for the dentist but saw them for the endodotist.

Answer 1

700 for the root canal and around 350 for the crown. I have had several and this seems to be my average out of pocket expense with 60% coverage. It sucks but it's better than the toothless option. Even people with dentures have to have alot of care so take care of what you have for as long as you can whatever the cost. Once you catch up with the other teeth you will be happy. I know I am. Nothing worse than a real painful toothache or the smell of a rotten tooth. Get er done.

Answer 2

I had a crown ( in Missouri) and didn't have any insurance-if I remember right it was around $650-I didn't have to have a post.
This sounds a little steep to me-if you have questions you have a right to have the bill broken down for you and if it seems wrong,get the insurance company involved-they will kick *** and take names.

Answer 3

You can save up to an additional 80% with this plan. I use it in addition to my insurance http://everyonebenefits.com/40436527
