How much would it cost for treating periodontal disease?

Q. I just came back from a check-up at my dentist and I have been told that I have periodontal disease. I wanted to know from you what is about the range in price that it would cost for treament? I do have insurance, but I am trying to figure out if this office is overcharging for the treatment. I will have the treatment done but it might not be by that office. Second question I had is that my dentist wants to put 4 crowns across my front teeth and I wanted to know which kind of crowns is good not the ones that are most expensive on me? For example they gave me a price of $4,480.00 for all four crowns and I would like to know if this is a crazy price or a normal one?

A. Periodontal treatment is difficult to cost but starting with the basics, ask how much time is being allocated and with who. For example 4x 30 mins with a hygeinist will have a different fee to 2 1 hour treatments with a periodontist specialist dentist. #est crowns can depend on the functional needs of the case but all ceramic crowns with a Zirconia core are good in most situations, try to shop around locally for hourly rates and zirconia crowns to compare prices.
