After patching the 'big hole' in my tooth, the dentist adviced to do 2 other 'problematic' tooth. Those 2 tooth had to do crowns.
I trusted what the dentist told me. I told him to go ahead because I was also adviced by another dentist quite some time back to do the same thing.
$480 for each crown!

ReplyDeleteI just re-crowned my front tooth - total bill S$1200 (re-root canal + crown). It looks just like a real natural tooth now. Money well spent. S$480 per tooth is not too expensive. But if you need root cannals too, it's going to be super expensive.
ReplyDeleteWith some additional moolah..you could add DaVinci veneer and Hollywood sparkles to your teeth, like those shown in Extreme Makeover ;)
ReplyDeleteHaving teeth like those - priceless...
never mind lah. in usa, it costs USD 1,000 per crown. it is still cheaper in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteI guess..
