Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2008Is $1,600 per tooth for gold fillings reasonable?
Is it reasonable (even if expensive) for gold fillings to take 3-4 visits (mold, base, etc?) and cost $1,600 per tooth? > Is it reasonable (even if expensive) for gold fillings to take 3-4 > visits (mold, base, etc?) and cost $1,600 per tooth? The fee is in the ballpark. I don't understand 4 visits though. Steve  SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 Dental school? Occlusal adjustments?

I understood that the 3-4 visits were for taking impressions, creating a cement base, and then laying the actual gold. The dentist claims that it could be done in less time but that he does it "by the book".

What are the advantages/disadvantages of gold filings? Another question - what, if any, are the advantages of a gold crown over a noble metal crown? Fred Noble metal or high noble metal is just another name for a gold crown (depending upon the alloy, it may or may not be 'yellow' gold).

Wow, I would be happy getting USD1600 for 3 gold fillings, but I haven't done them for quite a while. New Age Cosmetic Dentists http://www.luckyplazadental.com No. My mouth is full of fillings and none of them are gold. My crowns, however, are and the most I've paid for one of those is about $800. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Delete the obvious to reply to me personally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Is it reasonable (even if expensive) for gold fillings to take 3-4 > visits (mold, base, etc?) and cost $1,600 per tooth? > Is it reasonable (even if expensive) for gold fillings to take 3-4 > visits (mold, base, etc?) and cost $1,600 per tooth? Hi chris, I think the cost $1,600 per tooth for gold fillings would be an expensive deal. why you don't try someother dental clinic for the other best soultion to fiiling tooth. Might be possible that you'll get ur tooth gold filling at very low price in abroad like India. I know one of the medical center in india for any kind of diseases with lots of new technologies for treatment at very low cost.
