I have two cracked teeth that are in bad condition. I just came from my dentist who x-rayed the teeth and came up with two solutions. This is what has to be done:
One tooth requires a root canal, but it can be saved
The other tooth has broken beneath the gum and will be extracted completely.
After these two procedures, a bridge will be built between the missing teeth, and a crown made for each.
The estimated cost of these procedures is $5,125.00. My insurance will only cover $1,000.00, which will leave me with a bill of $4,125.00. I have not had dental work done in about 25 years, and so I do not know what the going rates are for this kind of work. Can someone tell me if this is a reasonable cost for these procedures? Thank you.

Wow. I went to NYU Dental School in NYC because they were the cheapest place I could find. Extractions are $90 or $100. I've had 3 taken out so far without any problems. They also charge approx. $800-1300 (possibly even less) for root canals plus crowns. This is the cost without insurance. I'm looking into bridgework but I haven't gotten the quotes yet.
You're estimate sounds like a slightly high average for a private practice. I'm not surprised. I know someone that was charged $6000 for way less work than what you are having done!

WOW!!! I know what your going through!! I had root canal done on the lower left of my mouth which got a crown and I just broke a tooth in half two weeks ago which needs crown as well. Let me tell you without insurance OR Health benefits thats a correct amount.
A root canal runs for over $900.00 dollars with the link below its something like $ 4 or $5 hundred dollars. The link below will tell you the amounts. Taking out a tooth and getting crowns is also cheaper.
They can save your up to 80% on all your dental work!!
It cost $11.95 for an individual and $19.95 for an entire household. Along with Dental you get Free Vision, Free Prescription and Free Chiropractic Care.
I use these benefits everytime I need work done. If you need help or want to know of a provider in your area send me an email with your zip code and I wouldn't mind looking that up for you.
I wish you the best of luck with your teeth
I would never recommend getting rid of insurance for health benefits...This is only an option that might help you save money.

I pay about 900.00 for a root canal and crown. A bridge is quite expensive and I was quoted about 5,000 - 6,0000 dollars for a tooth implant which is somewhat different than your bridge. Just make sure that the teeth that the bridge will be connected to are strong enough to hold the bridge. That is why I had to look at the implant as the bone structure next to the tooth that is missing now was not strong enough. Good luck.

A 95% efficient furnace? That sounds like a good price, even cheap for a new furnace and a/c, if it is a condensing furnace. Not too sure about the Goodman brand but I don't recall seeing a condensing furnace by them. As I recall Goodman tended to be less expensive than other brands. But they seemed to work fine. I didn't like to work on them too much because they were built in a small box, rather tight. Some brands are more popular in different regions. Sometimes the same units would be sold under different names in different parts of the country. And there have been a bunch of mergers by manufacturers in this decade. Nobody online can really answer your question because cost of installation varies house to house. The only way to feel comfortable is get several estimates for YOUR house. But I will offer ONE hint you might thank me for. If they are fooling with the duct work, as they must, make sure they provide EASY access to the filters. That is one place where they love to cut corners and they know you won't know for about a year after they are gone with a installation warranty of about 90 days. If you don't ask about this and check this, it is too likely you will end up cussing them every time you change the filters. I have seen setups where it is near impossible to get the filters in and out and Goodman is one that puts in the circuit board in the blower area in the way. You almost need separate access for the filters and that is not hard for the installers to provide as they will need to change the plenum (the part where the ducting attaches to the furnace and is usually where the filters go). Good Luck.

it seems kind of high. I'm not no dentist, but I 'v had 3 root canals.each root canal cost like 1,000.00 each. 4 years ago and my insurance payed 50% of the cost,so I payed $500 for a root canal. This is the cost in the state of Maine.I also had to go 4 times for a root canal.

Extraction of broken tooth ~ $200
Root canal on a molar ~ $1,000
Post and core in RC tooth ~ $250
3-unit bridge ~ $2,400-3,000
Chewing food again ~ PRICELESS
I think the figure over $5,000 is on the high end, but you might be in Manhattan...
