do we have any dentists on the board?
i just got back from mine and the estimate for removing one old amalgan (sp?) filling, cleaning the tooth up and close it again plus one bridge (using that tooth) spanning one missing tooth is: $3000 my insurance was so kind to pick up $400 of the total, that leaves me with $2600 to get it all fixed. does that sound about right or am i getting drilled (aehm, i mean screwed) ???

i talked to him in length. he favors implants but they're slightly more expensive and most of all take much more time. i have 6 teeth missing and i could have implants for all of them, luckily, i have very strong bones and there's enough left for implanting, but time & money are really an issue right now. as for my insurance, because only 1 out of the 6 missing teeth was extracted while i was with my insurance company, they consider all others "pre-existing conditions", which is their nice word for "we won't pay for it!" ... so, whatever i do, it'll always pretty much come out of my pocket ... getting 6 implants will take me well over 1 year, 4 bridges can be done in a month ... gawd, i hate this crap!
