I'm probably unlike a lot of people in TV (also posting here) in that ever since my first visit to my current dentist three years ago I've been treated fairly. Nobody tried to line their pockets at my expense. Twice now I've gone in unscheduled; once for a broken tooth and the last time for a filling that I had lost, and both times I fully expected a crown--wouldn't have argued had they suggested one. Both times however they repaired the tooth without going the expensive crown route: first time the dentist (Dr. Ha) said she could fill it--and did. Second on was six months ago and a restoration on one of my eye teeth had decided to part company with the tooth. Dr. Ha had left the practice and the guy who had replaced her (Ukrainian, can't recall the name but a darned good dentist) said that a crown was a last resort: he could restore it without going that route--and did.
By the way, I am served by Marion Dental Group. By Billy's Cafe on 446.

My husband and I have used Dr. Wallace at Marion Dental Group over 5 years and have had the same experience. We don’t have dental insurance and Dr. Wallace doesn’t recommend unneeded treatment and looks for ways to save us money.
