Dental insurance actually tends to have high "co-insurance" amounts (e.g., you pay half the cost of the crown), so consumers feel the price pressure.

You can have rational discussions with your dentist over the relative price effectiveness and tradeoff of different approaches--as well as scheduling things based on how much you have left on FSAs and insurance.
