Unfortunately no, not that kind of crown. I went to the dentist yesterday and got the wonderful news that one of my fillings is breaking down and basically it would need a crown. I was warned this was happening last summer actually, I was just hoping we could go a little longer without this. I was told it wasn’t an emergency, but it would need to be done at some point. Better sooner than later I know, because I do not need it turning into a root canal!

Of course the problem is . . . I have no dental insurance. I canceled mine last year when the rates became outrageous. My monthly premiums ended up totally how much they’d cover in one year. I’m not whiz, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how insurance is supposed to work! I figured I was better off paying out of pocket when I needed work done, and saving money when I didn’t. Of course now I need work done, and crown’s aren’t cheap. We are talking I could buy a new computer/go on vacation/have a real good time with a high class hooker here.

I am already looking into any kind of affordable dental insurance that is actually worth it, but not finding too much. Dental insurance really is a rip-off unless have it with BCBS. Anyways, I’m off to see if I can find some kind of affordable yet beneficial coverage (already some prospects, I just hate the idea I might have to get a new dentist). However I would have to wait 6 months to get the crown and be covered, I know that much from the last crown I got (and also had to pay out of pocket for at the time). I might have to ask the dentist this time if it can wait 6 months 🙂

  1. So my dentist allows you to pay using a CareCredit credit card. It doesnt give you a discount but it does allow you to pay off the bill at your own pace and there is no interest for 12 months. It works out well for me because I usually only go to the dentist once a year giving me the whole year to pay off whatever it cost.
