The dental updates are going to be thick and fast now, because I have decided to throw caution to the wind, spend a lot of money I don't have, and make a plan.
Today I went to the implant dentist. You see,
Number 29 (which had been root canaled years ago) has a cracked root. It needed to be extracted. Thus, another implant in the making.
I will be getting five dental implants -- two on the UL (these were prepped in July and I did a pre-op today), one on the UR (which will require some root extraction), and now two on the LR. Each set of implants will take between two and five months, depending upon what has to be done (extraction adds a few months to the process). Each individual implant costs roughly $5,000.
You do the math.
And welcome to my future. I need a full set of teeth and I will do whatever I need to. A friend suggested that I try Kickstarter or Indiegogo to raise funds, or just ask everyone I know for $20.00. Of course, I would then have to give out some sort of reward.
What do you think the rewards should be?
