I finally found a dentist that uses Diamond lite and he was trained by Huggins. I was totally excited.

I drove down for a consultation......I thought this is the right dentist but then a week later we had a phone consultation and he wants to charge me $20,000.00 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> and that's if he can pull 7 teeth. I think this is outrageous!!!

I don't know what it is about me but every dentist that sees me, gets greedy. I even asked for a discount......which is very hard for me to do but I actualy did it.

Originally when I called, I asked how much a crown costs and I was told $885.00, which is really a great price......every other dentist that has placed a crown for me, the price of the crown always includes the labor, (cleaning, setting, placement, ect.) But this guy is charging two seperate charges; one for the mercury removal and temporary crowns, and the second for the actual crowns. Which would mean each crown costs $1800.00.

I've asked for an itemized statement from him but he hasn't sent one yet.

I'm disappointed and I don't know what to do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Does anyone have any advice?
