Question:
Can any one translate the below dental Description? When I talked to the Dr. the plan was to extract 3 teeth.?
2 14 Crown - porc fuse high noble mtl $739
2 14 Surgic removl resid tooth root $117
2 15 Crown - porc fuse high noble mtl $739
2 15 Root removal-exposed root $88.
2 30 Surgic removl resid tooth root $117
From what I have been reading this sounds high. And if they are extracting, what is with the crowns? Thanks
Answers:
Actually, that's not a high price for crowns, but I'm not sure that's exactly what they're proposing. Noble could refer to the Noble implant, and if it does, that's actually an extremely low price. With implants, however, you sometimes incur two charges -- one for the implant into the bone and a second one for the porcelain crown that attached to the top of it.
Call your dentist's office and ask someone to review this with you. They can clarify. You really do need to be sure of what type of replacement this is and if there will be other charges later.
Good luck!
