I went through some physical trauma about 20 years ago that I’ve since recovered from but to be blunt, my noggin was affected and I didn’t take care of my teeth for about 3 years.
I lost all except 4 originals...unless you count crowns....
I have about 18 crowns and bridges combined and it all works great.
Did I get lucky?
Some fellow WOP dentist on staten island charged me like 4,000 for 8 front teeth, including the root canals, crowns and bridges...he’s a good guy. I asked him to not make my elderly mother see me without teeth in her lifetime....but I was willing to pay whatever the cost was over time...it was so cheap that I didn’t have to.
People tell me it was very cheap.
BTW, I’m sorry that happened to you. And I look forward to the day both of us get our real teeth back! We can hope! :)
“People tell me it was very cheap.“
If he did good work you got off cheap.
Wow so you’re in the same boat. Yeah this dentist if you can believe it had a female assistant with ample boobs who would lean over while he was working on me and he would give me nitrous oxide and I was in la la land, and everytime I went he would say “Oh you need a root canal and caps”, and what did I know? He’s the dentist and he did it to almost every tooth over the span of a year like you had around 20 caps. I must have been insane to let him do that.
Well then as time went on the caps started falling out and I had jobs with no dental insurance, a lot of the caps were crooked so my real teeth under the caps rotted away and good God, the pain was unreal, a lot couldn’t be saved so I had them pulled.
Now I got false ones, bridges, and I was thinking of implants but they want a ridiculous sum like $40,000
