Full mouth reconstruction
Anyone here have it? Looks like I need it. My teef are a mess. Always have been. I already have 22 crowns. This procedure takes almost 6 months to complete.
$40k |

Ouch! At 46, I've had my share of fillings, root canals, crowns, braces. I can't imagine doing something like that.

1 visit for the prep (6 hours) and one visit to install the new crowns. |

Will you be getting the Highbridge ? If so,$35k sounds about right. This high end dentistry is negotiable, like cars are. My wife works in an office where they do 5 or 6 per month, and this is where the big money is.Tell them you are prepared to pay $35k, and see what they say. If they say no, tell them you'll have to think about it, and walk. You'll get a call within a week, with a better price. If my teeth were shot, I'd do it. It's the price of a car, and your teeth will be perfect.

Would a periodontist do the work? If that is the case, you should contact Rbridges here on VB. He has done work for me, and so far I still have my teefusees. Good dude too.

There are so many variables in a full-mouth reconstruction. Not every dentist is qualified to do one, though a lot of them think they are. $40k may be high or it may be low--depends on exactly what's being done... There are a LOT of variables... |

I go in the end of the month for my 1st crown. And I've had braces 2x and a handful of fillings. dental work is expensive...especially when it's out of pocket. |

Just had a cleaning and then they started taking all of these pictures. I asked them WTF was going on. Afterwards I got the bombshell and a good look at the pictures. Need old fillings dug out and replaced. Extensions put on. Jesus I just about had a heartattack. On a positive note I just had my two month cancer checkup, yes in my mouth, and he says everything looks great in there.
