Default cost of dental work

I am looking to find another dentist who is less expensive that the one I have been going to. I had 5 crowns done and will need more in the future. I paid $1299 for the porcelain crown, the prep work and build up. My sister in Augusta Ga paid $750 for the same.
Am looking for recommendations for a good dentist who does not charge a king's ransom. Thanks

Have you considered "medical tourism" route?

Bushnell Family Dentistry, they did an awesome crown for me and reasonable. Great place and the people are wonderful! Worth the drive!

We go to Baylee Dental, they're on Hwy 27/441 just north of TV in Baylee Plaza on the left side. It's the tan shopping center which has the Sears Store and until recently Taverna Red.

Three years ago when we first moved here my wife went to a dentist off 466 north of the CVS drugstore (I won't mention names), they said my wife needed $14,000 in dental work. Then she went to Baylee Dental for a second opinion and after x-rays they said she didn't need any work. She went for two years for cleaning only and last year they said she needed four crowns on the front lower four teeth. The price was $797 apiece.

There are two dentist, a man and woman and both graduates of the University of Florida and have been practicing for about 20 years and opened this office in 2004 and are quite busy.

Best dentist around is Dr. James Joyce in Ocala. Recently retired from the Navy. (And believe me...I went through three dentists in the Villages before I drove the distance for good, honest care.)
