A Crown is usually about 900$. Now if you have had a root canal and you had it crowned i dont know what kind of filling if it was a silver or white filling but insurances usually dont cover them 100%. They may only cover about 50-80%. I would call a dentist you shouldnt have to go to a specialist for it. But i would call and have them check prices and how much your insurance will cover also some insurances will only cover a crown once every 5 years so i would check with that and see what is covered. If it was a new crown they would cover it but since its a pre existing crown they may not. ALSO if you still have ayour crown i would bring it with you cause they may be able to cement it back on as long as it didnt break a piece of tooth off when it came out. So
1st- call a dentist or insurance and find out what they would cover
2nd-if you still have the crown put it in a baggy and bring it to the dentist with you to see if it can be put back on.
GOOD LUCK
a crown after a root canal are meant to last for life, if possible I would go back to the dentist that did it and make him do it again for free. Failing that, it is a matter of replacing the crown...count on 1200 dollars or so, your cost.
