The last Dental plan I had cut the price of crowns in half. The dentist I used then just found more work to do in my mouth. I dropped the insurance and changed dentist. The dentist I have now hardly ever does anything but clean my teeth. I broke this tooth on some hard candy!
My teeth are getting brittle with age :) An upcoming crown will be the second in less than two years, on a tooth that had a root canal three years ago. (I think they messed up when they did it, because it shouldn't have a huge cavity now)
Let me see, Root Canal=1000.00 bucks and and now a crown on the same tooth is another 1300.00 bucks. That is 2300.00 on one tooth. I have had 3 RCs, one bridge and 7 crowns in the last 30 years. I have more money in my mouth than I have in my bank account!

It is pretty ridiculous what they are charging these days!
