The chipped tooth now has a temporary crown attached. I go back on the morning of Nov 14 for the permanent crown, all for the low, low price of $1,138. Bugger.

Adding insult to injury, there is still another tooth which may need a crown in the next year and two fillings my dentist wants to replace. It was a good thing he informed me of all of this extra work & expense while my face was still too numb to express anything.

It's not clear at the moment how much this will cost out of pocket. I have to pay the dentist up front, then his staff submits the lot to Aetna Dental to see what they'll cover.

On the good side :-^, I had $500 in my medical savings account which has to be used up soon so now I don't have to worry about forfeiting that lump.

well I hope at least you put the payment on a credit card that gets you airmiles or something similar

(startling how many points I got via my dentist)
