Lendaddy, In the words of the great Bill Clinton, "I feel your pain".
I am on the verge of selling my 911 to pay for several thousand dollars worth of neglected dental work, among other bills and expenses. The Bush economic miracle hasn't made it this far west yet, so that's the way it looks.
Leaving an empty hole in a molar location is not a good idea from what I've been told, the opposing tooth w/ nothing to bite against will start to come out like a pulled headstud on a 2.7, then you will need two new ones. Dental implants are the best restoration going, (is this what he's talking about?), last forever, etc., but mucho dinero. Several thou each. Ouch.
The "horsepower dollar" or motorcycle/ski trip/hookers in Vegas to tooth ratio is not lost on me either, it SUCKS!
I was talking to an aquaintence last night who got some pretty high-quality dental work done South of the border for pennys on the dollar, I will be looking into it and will let you guys know. If the work really is up to par, it's Ole' time for a lot of us!
