That's me:/
I've seen the second dentist. He was singing a sad song to me...
Basically, there isn't enough tooth to do the post, new crown on. He says "there's only a millimeter of good tooth there, and it's possible that he can do about $2,000 worth of dental work and that millimeter could break. Then all that work is down the tubes:/"
SO...his recommendation is to do an extraction, and then an implant. Big. Sad. Face:(
None of this sounds fun, and when did having teeth get so DANG expensive?!?
I mean...I can have a tooth...or take my entire family to Disney World! How can this be?!?
I can have a tooth...or a totally pimped out new Mac Book Pro!
I'm going to do the extraction next week...that's only $995. Only...is what the dentist said. In what world is $995 "only"???
Then I gotta wait four months for it to heal before I decide on the implant.
Teeth suck:/

He is write that is cheap! Mine with insurance and a bride was $3,000 after insurance. I just payed it off a few months ago! Being an adult can really stink at times!!
ReplyDeleteThe $995 is just for the extraction. I'm looking at another $2,500 for the implant:(
DeleteOh good grief I am typing one handed with a baby! I mean right!lol
ReplyDeleteThat's what makes going to the Dentist so damn hard. Who gives a shit about the pain? It's the MONEY, honey.

ReplyDeleteI will try again, leaving out the name of a dentist that might have been insulting to someone :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is in the middle of finishing his implants and he is happy, over the moon !
Painless, everything works out perfectly the first time and he is able to chew again on the right side :)
I , thanks to dentists in the past who were something from a nightmare, have vowed to have no more work done, I will just be a toothless old woman or have those funny, ill-fitting false teeth.
OMG! I'm so glad we have the NHS over here. An extraction cost me £34 last time. The downside is that all the dentists are Polish and their English is not so great, so who knows what you could end up with?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's expensive! I'd be tempted to pull out the pliers.
ReplyDeleteI am twenty years old and female. I had teeth and gum problems all of my life but no more. I have for the last year and a half smooth empty gums and I put my teeth in a glass at night together with cleanig tablet. Nobody should suffer with poor teeth. Wearing dentures takes a while to get used to but you will get so used to them that uou will not be concious of wearing them.. It takes a while to get used to the toothless gums when you speak with the dentures out or catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. I am at a stage now wherere I have almost gone out to work without my dentures on more than one ocasion. I have been in my car about two miles up the road when I have noticed I was not wearing my teeth. I regularly take breakfast without my dentures in to save time in cleaning them afterwards and I am usually running on the last minute so its only a matter of time before I arrive to work flashing my pink smile at the boss as I clock in a few minutes late, as usual. I must get out of bed earlier. I would never consider putting metal in my jaw bones so the cost of implants doesnt bother me.
