/u/justhp on Dental patient thought $20/Month for a $1k balance was a totally reasonable payment plan for our office to provide in-house

Read the post, genius. OP used insurance and still had to pay over $1k for a crown. That means the dentist probably billed $2k or more. For a single crown, that is ridiculous, even if they are milled in house.
