About 18 months ago, one of my front teeth bridge failed. My trusted dentist of 20 years suggested dental implant and sent me to a specialist. I was quoted close to $6k for what I thought was the “total cost” of the two implants needed. After the two titanium screws was put in place, slowly but surely, I was sent back to my dentist to put the crown on. And I just received a bill of additional $4K for the crown job, for a total of almost $10k! For those of you who have done it, is this the market price in the US?

I was somewhat led to believe that the cost will be $6k. Now my spouse is cursing at me for spending a freaking $10K for two tooth. So much for the euphoria of economic stimulus check…
