OT: any dentists on the board? Options

[SirAndy]

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) ???

Damn MattR,
I can't believe that you would tell that HIGHLY inacurate joke (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

I'm sure it was all in good fun. I would have liked to have been an orthodontist or someone specializing in implants and dental work. That work has a lot of the appeal of orthopedic surgery.

Andy,
If I were you and in any hurry, I would come down here and check out Bernie's doctor. Good dentists tend to associate with other good dentists and he may have a good one to recomend if he can't/doesn't do the bridge work. I would be glad to assist you in your trip down and back, crossing the boarder, etc. Do you have your green card or are you gonna be shut out if you leave the country?

What do you call the person who graduates last in their class in med school....
