just fyi - My youngest just chipped two of his teeth last week - they charged ins 175$ a tooth - I'm sure being a cash paying customer any dentist will work something out with you if that 175$ is too high for you
I broke a back tooth once and call Dr Gainer on Gr mills rd and he pulled it. Thats probably the cheapest way to go. He got me in same day too. I think I pd about 125.00 but that was a few yrs ago. good luck.
Call around and see if any dentist will work out a payment plan with you. If it's a bad chip, you don't want to mess around. No matter where you go, dental work is expensive, even for those with insurance.
I didn't have dental insurance for the longest time and actually found it less expensive to pay out of my pocket than pay for a dental plan and co-pay.
