Where can i get cheaper porcelain crowns?


Question:
i currently have silver crowns but they look like crap when i smilei only have two one on the upper right side and one one the lower side but you can tell when i smile it doesnt look ladylike .

Answers:
The only place I can think of for cheaper porcelain crowns would be at any UC. UCSF, UOP, etc.
Cheap materials is not the way to go if you want them to last long.
Dental schools use ok materials. but the "dentists" are dental students.
Good Luck!!
If you live near a dental school (university) they may give you a cheaper rate. I do not know where you live, but I do know if there is one near you. I went to the University of Iowa. I do not know where the closest one to you will be.
Hi Valeria

If the cost of treatment is a major concern, then i would suggest you explore the option of travelling to another country for your dentalwork.

Whilst it isnt financially feasable for everyone, the fact you can save over 90% on prices in the US and UK makes it very attractive to many.

Of course you need to do your due dilligence and make sure the dentist you decide on has both the expertise and most importantly recommendations you can check.

I have done this myself a few months ago. After extensive research i went to a delightful and highly recommended lady dentist in Mexico, and 28 top quality porcelain crowns cost me $2400/£1200. I saved myself over $33,000 on what i'd been quoted here,which is mor than 92% less.

As i say , this isnt for everyone, but if you are thinking of spending a considerable sum of money, it is an option you should perhaps at least consider..:-)

More details on where and why i went to Mexico below
Hope this helps
Cheers
