Terribly long story short, my face met concrete today and turned six of my teeth into shards and bone fragments.

Right afterwards I immediately went to a dentist because I was in such devastating levels of pain who immediately went to work on:

1. making a 3D map of my mouth
2. used a dremel grinder type of thing to grind the remnants of my broken teeth into nubs (this was the most painful experience of my life because I was given inadequate anesthetic and had no idea that I should have hardly felt a thing since I've never had any real dental work before)
3. root canals on the four most damaged teeth, then stuck temporary fake teeth over the six nubs

I was so disoriented and distraught at the time I just signed everything put in front of me and I have to see the dentist again tomorrow for another assessment and get me ready for permanent dental implants and I was in no condition to talk about how I was going to pay for all of this. Thing is I have no insurance. Does anyone have an idea of how much all of this is going to cost in the end?

In Romania 3-4000€ tops! If you are in a country with 35k , better to come here and just get them done, flight + one month staying will be 5-6000€ (maybe less) and all doctors are good and speak english

I'd say about $80-100k

root canal + crown is about $3k for each tooth. sorry but that anon wasn't too far off, it'll be at least $20k since you don't have insurance. they'll use veneers on your front teeth which look more realistic and therefore cost more

maybe you can set up a care credit account or something. best of luck.

I don't think he's trolling. Here in Australia even with medicare each root canal costs around $2000. You're fucked friend, and I'm honestly sorry to say that as I also have many fucked teeth I can't afford to fix up. I've had 4 molars pulled because I simply can't pay the ludicrous amounts for root canals (that have a higher chance of going wrong) or fake teeth.

I feel like this is a fake post.

Why would the dentist give you root canals on the 4 most damaged teeth instead of just pulling them and preparing them for dental implants?

Why would he grind the less damaged ones instead of just preparing them for a crown or dental cap?

If this story is in fact true was your doctor White?

On the bright side, you don't live in a shithole and you had immediate access to proper care that probably saved your face from being a total writeoff. Money comes and goes. If you are not well off and your dentist has a heart you can probably negotiate a better price. In the end it is only money and your mouth is fixed / will be fixed. This is a blessing. 200 years ago you'd be straight fucked.

>> No.14675056

>>14675006
its always preferable to keep the tooth (ie. root canal) over an implant, especially if the patient is young since the latter option wont last as long

>grind the less damaged ones
>just preparing them for a crown or dental cap
but that's exactly what grinding them down is for. to prepare for a crown. also a cap is the same thing as a crown

i'm not a dentist, but are you retarded or something?

> was your doctor White?
ah of course. nvm

Not a fake story.

Maybe implants isn't the right word? He's going to try to use the nubs he made with the dremel and put permanent fake teeth over them, and fit them in like a socket.

Most dental insurance plans have a low annual maximum so even with insurance you'd be fucked.

That's called a crown - about 1k each.

You're probably up for around 15-20k, no joke.

I would've looked up dental tourism if I were you. American healthcare is an overpriced shitter. You can often get the same procedures done with an equal or better level of quality for less than two thirds of the price in another country, including plane ticket and stay.

Good job on making your jew doctor rich.

Are you retarded? I am in dental school.
Why would you attempt to save the most damaged teeth while grinding down the less damaged teeth to numbs?
When you put a cap on a tooth you do not grind it down to a nub you only grind down the outer edges.
