My experience with other Village dentists were not good and quoted one price and then when I was in the chair all ready to go they had a lot of "add ons".
The cost of my crown was less than a thousand dollars. If you need "core repair" it would have cost about $200 more.

I also have to pay all my dental "out of pocket".

I was advised of these costs, and "in the chair" I was informed that the "core repair" was not necessary and so that was very good.

A cleaning for a healthy mouth is only $85, so why don't you just make that appointment when you're ready for a cleaning, and that way you'll be able to check out the office, interact with the staff and meet Dr. Luong. You should be able to make a solid judgement after that.
