stuckincincy Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 A month ago, my 1987 upper right bridge broke away (A Bridge Too Far...). On the 14th, I had 3 extractions to clean up the aftermath - six shots with the novacaine needle - what fun what joy THAT was! The left upper molars are long gone...industrial accident decades ago. The front teeth are OK; bottoms are fine. So...any false teeth folks out there with some advice? The front canines are in good shape, and could anchor a partial or a full plate. But I wonder if a partial would stress them, and if a full plate is the way to go? Yanking out those front four chiclets is a trivial matter.

stuckincincy Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 have them all taken out . be a man . 710285[/snapback] I was. Everybody, oral surgeon included, said I should have had a general anesthetic for those three. It took a long time...he had to bust the remains up and the shots faded. Gruesome, but stuck can deal with pain. So...full plate would be best, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Implants? 710356[/snapback] "How much do dental implants cost? Dental implants can be a costly procedure. An entire team of professionals are needed to deliver a long-lasting smile. Implant procedures demand a great deal of the doctor's and staff's time and effort. The prosthodontist intensely studies your health profile, and then develops a plan to meet your unique needs. Additionally, surgical staff and the laboratory perform several services to produce the desired result. The materials used to construct implant prosthodontics are also very expensive. Bone grafting, if needed, is additionally costly. While a basic implant is typically $1,250. to $3,000., depending on your circumstances additional costs for things such as in the case of a posterior mandible, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, and wide diameter or narrow diameter implants quickly escalate to as much as $15,000 to $30,000. for the complete procedure for the upper or lower jaw."

sweet baboo Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 i have no advice on fake teeth, but i think they could be pretty good a girl i know used to have some really crooked ass yellow front teeth then she fainted one day and knocked them all out they gave her fake teeth (screwed into the bone somehow) and now her front teeth are pearly white and straight! who needs braces or teeth whitening? i'd imagine these new teeth are also harder to stain than real teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an ad a few days ago, with a guy with an unsually good hair do standing and leaning on the open door of a white Jetta, saying something about it being a car for all cultures.
