 |
|
My local dentist is charging me 120,000 for each cavity he fills. Unfortunately.. I have a bunch. I told him I'd do 1 or 2 a month.
In the meantime.. does anyone have experience with a dentist who charges less than this?? It seems really exorbitant, especially given the fact that he only charged me 20,000 to pull wisdom teeth, on which he worked much harder than he did on the one cavity he filled today.
Thank you. |

| Do you have insurance? Are you having him fill it with metal or porcelain? Where are you? |

120,000 US dollars is far too expensive for a cavity.  |

| I went to the dentist this morning. I have 2 small and 1 large cavity. They said the larger cavity will be 150,000 and the smaller ones will be 100,000 each. According to them, the insured material is not as strong so they only use it for children. I might go for cheaper alternative anyway and have it redone when I have insurance back home. |

Yes to insurance, filled with porcelain, in Bundang.
I was considering waiting till I went back to the US... but it's rather doubtful that I'd get dental insurance when I return. That isn't for another 9 months, either, so I don't want things to get any worse than they are. |
