I went to the dental clinic last week for having a single yellow teeth. They said that they needed to do an MRI scan to know locate the nerves and find the details which may cost around 26,000¥.
Is the price too expensive or should i change the clinic to opt for a cheap one?

Nobody is gonna reply .
You can decline treatment and play the odds.
The MRI is that much? Do you have insurance?
They’re being a bit excessive. I had two and both were included in the treatment. I paid less than 4000¥ every time and not even 1500¥ the last one. Aoyama dental clinic near Gaien-mae station.
Panoramic X-ray should be enough in most cases, so maybe get a statement what’s wrong right now and check with another dentist.
P.S. I’m obviously not a doctor, a dentist or a radiologist.
I definitely don’t think an MRI is necessary.
The contrast difference between teeth and nerves is so vast that traditional xrays should be able to tell the difference.
I had a mri and it was like 6000 with insurance… but that may be considered elective ( can’t use insurance). But seems questionable whether you need it
