Hi folks, I recently cracked a tooth and my dentist recommended a crown and as the side of it was sheered off it was unfillable so I went with it.
My query is a bit wierd. i've currently been there five times and my next will be my 6th, the first time, the filling fell out and she put a temporary crown on without
replacing the filling price 3400 baht.
So I was basically in agony through this thin temporary crown as there was a big gap in my teeth,
The second time she replaced the filling, put a new temporary crown on and took a 3D scan of the tooth and said it would be two weeks until the crown would be ready price 3000 baht, (my tooth was painful for these two weeks I was on 800mg of ibruphropen every day)
the next time there were at least two people involved (you can't see anything in the dentist as they put this thing over your face so only your teeth are visible) Someone else was pushing (what I thought was the crown into place) then it has to be sanded down in the mouth as it was to high (it always to high each time) price 4700 baht this time
I was then told to go back in two weeks to "check" I presumed it was ok, During this process they told me the actual crown would be installed in one month (I assumed the last visit was the crown as they actively shaped it to look like a tooth with her tools. The tooth ached for a week due to sensitivity but is now fine under whatever is covering it. I should add I also got a scale and polish which was also more expensive than the normal price at 900 baht but i needed that.
Does this seem wierd to anyone, in my opinion why wasnt the filling replaced the first time, it fell out right in front of their eyes causing me needless pain, then they did a 3d scan and two weeks later fits something which should have been the crown, but then two weeks later says it wasn't
I've never heard of a crown taking 6 visits or two months to process
Whats going on?
(these prices may or may not seem low to you, but they are standard around here, but I'm not rich just your average joe working on a relatively low income and Im getting married and have a baby on the way, so every penny counts)
