COST OF A FILLING: $104 to $472, depending on material used and the number of sides of the tooth it covers.* Crown WHAT IT IS: A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that replaces part of your natural tooth above your gumline. WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DENTIST'S chair, being told that you that you need a filling, a crown, a root canal, or some other procedure, should you trust that advice? To place one, a dentist removes some of the tooth's outer material and cements the crown on top of your remaining tooth. WHEN TO QUESTION IT: It's important that your dentist perform adequate testing to determine that your tooth's pulp is necrotic and not salvageable, because some people who need root canals don't experience pain as a symptom.
