I went to the dentist today and was told that I need a crown. On the treatment plan, the fee for "Crown-porc fuse high noble mtl" is $944.00 plus a fee for "Crown buildup, include any pins" is $255. My insurance will pay half of those costs. Do the costs seem right or am I being overcharged? I live in San Antonio, TX. Thank you!
