If you just need general dentistry services, a prosthodontist can perform check-ups, cleanings and regular fillings. The cost of these general services may be the same as those you get from any other dentist. If your dental insurance plan allows you to go out- of- network, you can get your treatments and enjoy the benefits of your dental plan for an out- of-network provider. Now, if you need to restore or replace missing teeth, don’t forget that in dentistry you get what you pay for. Your prosthodontist will guide you on procedures that meet your needs and your budget, but remember that high quality materials mean more durability and strength. In the long run, this means less money, time (and headaches!) wasted in the future.
