I may take this guys advice I hear he knows a thing or 2 about teeth

he may, he may also know a thing or two about a "Mr Finger"..... which makes me question his validity :)

I WAS MISSING A TOOTH FOR MANY YEARS, AND WAS WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO HAVE IT REPLACED. UP HERE SEVERAL DENTISTS TOLD ME ANYWHERE FROM $3500 TO $8000 TO GET A STUD PUT INTO MY SKULL AND A TOOTH MOUNTED ON THAT AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY OUR HEALTH PLAN AT THE SHOP

ONE DAY, WHILE IN PALM SPRINGS AT MY BROTHER IN LAWS PLACE, WE DROVE ACROSS INTO LOS ALGODONES, SOUTH WEST OF YUMA, AND MY SISTER INLAW HAD HER TEETH CLEANED ETC, SO I THOUGHT HEY, WHY NOT, I'LL GET MY TEETH CHECKED. THEY ESTIMATED AN IMPLANT OUT AT $1000.00 CASH, SO WE PROCEEDED(MORE MONEY TO SPEND ON SLEDDING :)). THEY XRAYED, ETC, AND PUT THE ANCHOR INTO MY SKULL AND 6 MONTHS LATER WENT BACK DOWN AND HAD THE STUD AND TOOTH INSTALLED. VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH THE JOB.

IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO LOS ALGODONES, IT IS A SMALL TOWN ON THE MEXICO SIDE OF THE BORDER, AND THERE ARE DOCTORS, DENTISTS AND OPTOMETRIST OFFICES AND DRUG STORES EVERYWHERE. ALL THE OFFICES ARE VERY CLEAN AND ALL THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AND THE DOCTORS AND DENTISTS AND OPTOMETRISTS AND PHARMACISTS ARE ALL TRAINED IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES, AND SOME ARE EVEN AMERICAN. A LOT OF RETIREES HEAD THERE ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE FALL, WINTER, SPRING MONTHS. THERE IS A VERY NICE CASINO/HOTEL ON THE AMERICAN SIDE THAT WE STAYED AT(GORGEOUS FACILITY AND POOL AND GREAT CASINO), WHILE I HAD MY TOOTH PUT IN. ALSO HAD 2 CROWNS INSTALLED(EXTRA $300.00).

I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO RECOMEND THIS TO ANYONE NEEDING TEETH WORK NOT COVERED BY THEIR PLAN, OR EYEGLASSES ETC. FOR YOU OLDER FOLKS VIAGRA DOWN THERE IS LIKE $.99 A PILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MAKE A HOLIDAY OF IT AND STAY AT QUECHAN RESORT OR STAY IN YUMA(SHORT DRIVE). WE WALKED ACROSS THE BORDER AND WIFEY AND FRIENDS SHOPPED AND HAD LUNCH WHILE I WAS AT THE DENTISTS.

WHEN TOOTH GOES ON, IT IS A 2 DAY EVENT. FIRST DAY IS PUTTING THE STUD INTO THE ANCHOR AND MEASURING FOR A TOOTH, AND THE SECOND DAY WAS INSTALLING AND FITTING THE NEW TOOTH. VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THIS.

HERE'S A LINK TO THE QUECHAN RESORT. IT'S WORTH IT FOR A 3 DAY STAY :)
Visit Quechan Casino Resort - Yuma, Arizona

Father in law did full implant studs with dentures (clip ins) 7k here in Canada was quoted 16k to 18k....

Said he'd go back there in a heart beat.

My dentist is in Cabo. Cheap. Clean. Fast. Actually look forward to going to the dentist now. Canadian dentists drag out the process and drain the bank. Slugs.

Had one of mine pulled years ago and when my wisdoms come in pretty much filled the gap. Pretty much just a space easier to floss. I say pull it any work done will eventually cost more money again down the road.
