root canal & crown Posted by panalee (225 days ago) Hi I need to get a root canal but am on a tight budget! Can anyone recommend a decent dentist who can do this for me and give me an approximation of the costs? Thanks!!! (I am based in Hong Kong) Find what you are after in our Kuala Lumpur A-Z Directory Tags dentist  Posted by adele78 (225 days ago) Most dentists are quite comfortable performing a straightforward root filling and crown, so unless your case is particularly complicated then your regular dentist should be able to help you and you won't need to see an endodontist and prosthodontist. The cost will depend on if it is an incisor (one canal) or a molar (4 canals) and whether there is infection that has to be treated before the root filling can be done. Only your dentist can properly diagnose your case and advise you as to whether you are a candidate for a root filling or not, for example if you have advanced gum disease or a crack in the root then you would not be a candidate for a root filling and would have to opt for an extraction and then replace the tooth with a partial denture, crown and bridge or an implant.

Any recommendations so I have somewhere to start? (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by adele78 (225 days ago) Well, I'm moving to HK in 6 weeks so I'm of no help at all! Hopefully someone else will be able to steer you right. If you were in melbourne I could reccoment my mum as your dentist and my dad as your endodontist but I guess that doesn't help you much!!?

(I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by zalca (134 days ago) i can second that recommendation for daniel choy. he's fantastic! (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by fushingbayloo (47 days ago) I would also check Costello Brother's practice in Code Plaza (you can google their website). They have a lot of really good dentists (US trained). They may be slightly higher than market rate, but you get what you pay for. There are a lot of mediocre and not good dentists in this town who claim to have good credentials, but I can tell you that you need to make sure that you check. Good luck. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by 11111111 (45 days ago) If ur on a tight budget, go to Bangkok and use the excellent dentists there. The Bangkok International Dental Centre has 3 sites around Bangkok and in my opinion, have much better trained and much more professional dentists than you can find here in HK.
