How much should a crown cost out of pocket after insurance? My dentist is quoting me $288 my cost after insurance paying $290 and them "writing off" $200 what ever that means. $800 for me without insurance. |

Go back and ask the price if they don't file the insurance and you just pay cash for the whole deal. |

Fuck yeah, that's a deal.
My wife had to have 2 crowns replaced (one was a warranty jobber.) With insurance it cost us like $700 for the crown. Then the dentist fucked one of them up and she needed to go for a root canal ($700+) to fix it. Oh yeah, plus a copay ($20 for anti-biotics they forgot to prescribe at the root canal and lots and lots of Vicodin.) |

"Writing off" means they're "counting as a loss" the said amount.

$800-$1k is the pain I expect from a crown. 'Insurance' only covers 2x a year cleanings. all else is out of pocket.

With insurance for me the last one was $500 out of pocket.
Same with new glasses. I have insurance but always wind up pulling about $400 out of my wallet for a new pair. |

The kicker? Dental labs are only charging about $150-$200 to the dentist to make the crown.
Funny eh? |

The dentist IS giving a break! Generally, insurance covers 1/2 of the cost of a crown. "Writing off" $200 means the dentist is eating $200 of the deductable the OP would be paying. I wish MY dentist would do that! Quoted:
