Dude...that's too ironic because I'm getting impressions made for a top
plate next week.

Unless you're kidding.....and if that's the case, all I can say is D'OH! :oops:

No sir - August 13th I went under the knife.

I have a full smile for the first time since 1996.

It's a bonus! I don't mind the weight loss and I'm halfway to fully healed. Come December the dentist will look me over - if I am healed they will make my casts for my final plates.

You'll have to queue up behind the rest of the "dentists" that said they could do it for me for short money :-D

Zed....did you negotiate for cash or are you on a plan?

I'm hearing that some docs will give a price break for cold hard cash.

Ok, kind of unrelated........I need my left big toenail removed now, and no insurance still from unenjoyment.
I called the place I went to and got the prices................ $100.00 office visit.........$405.00 for the removal.
I can put 1/2 down for the ONLY payment plan they will give me, no exceptions.
If I can come up with all of the money they will give me a 20% price break and the total will be $404.00 which I believe is only on the removal price, I still have to pay for the office visit.

Kind of looking like plier time to me. :twisted:

Plan. My original oral surgeon wanted cash and offered no financing - I don't have $4K frittering away in a bank account that I could just pull out for that...add the fact that they lost my original surgery order and that pretty much sent me packing to the place I go to now.

I am on a plan, but after my insurance and the discount they have for being contracted I got roughly 45% off the original grand total. The rest is being paid in very managable installments.

I love the place I go now.

Been there. They are just going to use pliers anyway . . . the only difference will be a local anesthetic. Jack will do the same thing, but much cheaper.

I have kind of thought about that option. Really the only thing holding it on is the nail bed.
