Do I need a crown?

[strong569]

So the dentist I’m going with said I need a crown.
Also this dentist tried to sell me aligners called Dandy. Wanted 1500, then found out I had insurance and wanted another 1500… so total 3k
I just go for cleanings.
I can’t tell if he just wants money
My tooth isn’t bothering me, also I’m moving in a few months.
I asked him if can’t be put off and he said I’m rollling a dice…

Thank you for your help!

This tooth does have a large filling, but does not appear cracked. Based on this photo, and the lack of any symptoms, you don't need to crown the tooth right away. If a part of it breaks in the future, you can then consider a crown.

It's completely understandable to feel skeptical when a dentist suggests additional procedures, especially when you're not experiencing any discomfort.

I'd recommend getting a second opinion from a different dentist. They can independently assess your situation and provide alternative treatment options or recommendations. It's also important to understand the potential consequences of delaying treatment, such as further damage to the tooth or surrounding area.
