What affects the price
Dental care costs shift based on the complexity of your treatment and the materials required. A simple cleaning is far more affordable than a crown, bridge, or dental implant, which involve more time and specialized labs. Insurance coverage also plays a big role in your final out-of-pocket expense, as does the condition of your oral health when you first walk through the door.

What tooth is hardest to remove?
