Dentures anyone?

$675.00 is cheap for an implant..

No kidding. My root canal was $500 and my implant was $500 and that was 15-20 years ago. Last crown I had done was around $700.

1995/1996 time frame, I had major reconstruction. One six tooth bridge (the middle two missing), one bridge over a single missing tooth, two teeth joined by caps on both sides of the lowers to stabilize a bridge, all but one capped. Cost around 20k plus the yearly 1,500 deductables from 95 and 96 which is why I timed it that way.

Figured I was good to go except for checkups. Less than two years later, I had to have the six tooth bridge reworked for two root canals. If I recall correctly, I have at least eight root canals now. Those are part of my problems. One was a front tooth and just kind of turned to punk. One I could not keep the cap on. Several that are loose.

Dental, general eyecare, and hearing aids, insurance does not go to far if at all.

Yep,, I was quoted by phone $750.00-$1500.00 Mine was of course the $1500.00 implant..

Others quoted $2250.00-$2500.00..With no guarantee they will take..That's why I had to have 1 of mine installed twice !

Old Thread
Getting my first implant in 3 months. I had the tooth pulled yesterday. It was possibly my first crown and on a molar. My original dentist retired several years ago. The guy that took over his practice jacked the rates up 40% and I couldn't help but notice all my old dentist' help had left. So I tried this lady who's husband worked for a year or so at my old dentist. She pointed out some decay at the bottom of the crown but seemed more fixated on other teeth. A nice lady but slow and constantly having to move my head she didn't instill confidence.So I found a replacement dentist about halfway to my property. Well that gold crown pulled off a few weeks ago and lots of decay under it. I would have considered making a road trip to try Los Algodones Mx but with the border shut down plus I've heard of some having problems with implants done in MX.

I think I have 6-7 crowns. 1 is on an old tooth that they removed, put a titanium post into my jaw, and put the old tooth with crown back on that. Seems to be holding up pretty well. Probably 15 years or more. I have had a couple crowns pull off over the years. Starburst candy! :licking:

:laughing:

The night before it happened I was on my way home from a day trip to my property. I grabbed some caramel M&M's but no problems encountered. A couple hours later I was eating some soft food as a snack and when done it felt like I had a high tooth or debris stuck in tooth. The next day I was eating and still felt like I had a high spot when oops what's this?

I lost an argument with a two way door which cost me 6 teeth, implants $7k each so went a titanium plate, excellent fit but avoid bread with poppy seeds, feels like a load of gravel under the plate and about the only thing that gets in there.

My dad had dentures since he was maybe 12? He's 89 approaching 90.

I decided to go the full implant route..
I just got them uncovered & have to go for the impressions Tuesday for the final set..
They were nice enough to take between $27-$30,000.00 from me.. wasnt that nice of'm.??
I havent eaten anything "solid" since Nov.2019.. & I was "supposed to" have the final set in March but the Virus had ALL the dentists closed for a month or 2..
The "DAY OF" my appt. the office called to tell me about the closure.. & they had no idea WHEN they would open back up..
THANKFULLY they were only closed 2 month.. I'm so close to tearing thru a 32oz T-bone.!!! Lol
