For me in rustic Brooklyn this is very high. For Dr. Fancypants on W.
57th Street this is a pretty normal fee.

I realize every case is a bit different but does this fee sound very high? I
had intended to get a lot of work done-replace crowns, bridges etc but while
figuring out with the dentist(new) the best way of going it about it I
thought I would have him do 1 tooth which needs immediate attention. This
would have no effect on the other work so I thought he could get started.
It's an upper central incisor that had a small post and crown that had come
out. His job would be to clean out any decay, insert another post and place
a temporary crown which would later be replaced by a permanent one when we
decided on things like matching shade etc when the others were removed and
recrowned. Anyway when discussing price he said that the post and core
buildup would be $500. and a permanent crown $1450. Let's assume they are
both high gold core. Isn't this a high price?
