I paid about $18,000 for porcelain veneer crowns made of gold and a couple of other metals that I don't remember August of 2007. I did half in August and half in September because the insurance year ended Aug 31. The dental insurance paid a whopping $854 but I tricked them because they had to pay twice, once for each plan year! Susan tenaciously challenged all the denials and they finally forked over another $4,000 on a medical claim about a year later. I still have about the same amount to pay to finish but I'm not sure when.
