Cost of a tooth (Part 2)

Went to the dentist today.
Supposed to do the crowning for that bad tooth.
But dentist prioritized saving my 2 front tooth more important.
And thus he patched up 3 tiny holes. He has to match fillings to my tooth colour. And oh. Looking at it, I cant even differentiate my real tooth and the fillings (and that is good). 

As for the crowning, he needs to study my x-rays and decide if crowning should be done. For there is little real tooth for the crown to grab hold to. Like he said, if that amount of $ that is going to be spent on the crowning, it should last me for years. If not, just stick to the fillings that i have now. 
Linear *2, Polishing, Review, Scaling, Tooth coloured restoration *3
Damage to my wallet. $515
Ouch, my heart and wallet hurts.
