Case Description
I need to get a crown (or something) put on a tooth that was filled 15 years ago with metal. It has cracked and now the tooth is hurting severly. I need to get a cost estimate because I want to be able to pay 1/2 of bill at time and pay out the rest. I do have dental insurance. I am looking for a dentist that will work with me on this.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Dr. Daniel would need to see you to diagnose treatment at which time we would know what fee to quote you. If you want to come in and just have a limited exam and xray for the one tooth you are speaking of, it will be $90. At that time, he would make his diagnosis. As far as payment, your total co payment is due at each visit so, if you do need a crown, you would be responsible for your complete copayment and we would bill your insurance company for their portion. The only "payment plan" we have is Care Credit. If you qualify, you can charge your portion of your payment to Care Credit.If you would like to call, I would be happy to schedule an appointment for you and answer any questions you may have.Kathy AdcockDaniel Smile Design817-457-4481
