The dentists are the same as an autobody shop or roofer, if it is through insurance the prices are far higher then when you pay for it yourself.

Time to switch dentists then. I had a conversation at work the other day and we talked about the cost of crowns and it ranged from $700 to about $1600 for the same procedure. I know I am lucky because my dentist charges very close to the fee guide. I had to pay $0.03 out of pocket last time I was at the dentist.
