Well..............horse****!!!
They started the root canal, and discovered that the tooth had a fracture, that ran completely through the root, so the tooth was unsavable. So, bye bye toothie!
So, I've got a hole in my smile. Thank gawd it's over on the side, and not in front!!!(upper tooth #13, for those that know their teeth). A month or so of healing, then, what would you all do?
#1- Removable bridge, only $300. But then you take your tooth out like Grandma every night.
#2 - A 3 crown piece, about $1850.00. But, they have to ruin the two good teeth on either side of the missing one, to hold it all in place(the assistant had one of these, and it looked good, I'm not sure how I feel about ruining the two adjacent teeth.
#3 - Implant. My dentist doesn't do them, but he said he thought they were about $2000, plus $700 for the crown that goes on top of the implant.
I don't have dental insurance.
What would ya'all choose?
