Dr. Kaplan was to repair my fractured premolar. He was going to grind my tooth to a peg and put in a crown. I fortunately said no and had him fill and build it a little with the understanding that I would be on liquids. He charged $550 for about 1 hour. In the meantime, I found that a partial crown may be put in giving as much stability as a full crown. Dr. Kaplan did not offer this option. He was a rip-off and was also perhaps not educated in recent medical procedures.
