This is why dental is not covered. The dentist's wanted the most expensive option, and when you said 'no money', suddenly there is a cheaper fix. Got them kicked out of most medical plans for this very reason. You can go to five different dentists, and each will say you "must" have something different done. I have done the comparisons on a tooth that needing work. Who do you trust? None of them. If they were being honest, why did each make a different diagnosis?
