Re: Dental costs in oz
We've had to spend $8526 in the 14 months since we arrived on dentists. A couple of ceramic crowns are around $2700.

The dentist I've found is expensive but he's a teaching man, has all the latest equipment - stuff I've never seen in the UK or USA. He takes a 3D digital snap of the tooth and the computer displays the suggested crown on screen and, after tweaking, you can watch a CAD CAM milling machine carve the crown out: it's glued in within half an hour. It might be common now, but it's the first time I've come up against it.
Incidentally (pun intended) can you get a "limit" rebate on dental treatment as you do with medical treatment?
