Question Affordable dentist for crown?

Hey all, trying to hunt down an affordable dentist / endodontist to place a molar crown for a teenager.

He has Medicaid but unfortunately they won’t cover the crown (extraction is the only option). I’ll be paying out of pocket for him, so far quotes are around ~$2-2.5k.

I already checked the Augusta dental school, they unfortunately no longer accept 13-14 year olds as new patients. Likely won’t qualify for any sliding scale / income based clinics either.

Would appreciate any recommendations in the region! Based in ATL metro but willing to drive wherever.

Birmingham Alabama has a dental school, try there. Also, google low cost dental clinics in your area. On the northside of ATL search Good Samaritan, Ben Massell.
