So, another trip to TJ for the purpose of new teeth.
I've been sporting a temporary set of uppers for a few weeks and I like the look.
Teeth!
Last time, we ground down my natural teeth to make stumps upon which to attach the caps --
that took about 2 and 1/2 hours in the chair!
Today we're going to adjust the stumps (?) so that they can accept the crowns,
which have been made in a lab somewhere.
This whole shit is pretty crazy in so very many ways,
but crazy cheap is the best part -- about 1/3 of the price I was quoted in California!
The hardest part has been learning to smile with my lips open, which I haven't done for years.
Hopefully, I'll survive the whole ordeal...
