I jusss had a toof extraction...assssk me anything

Had pain today at a seminar so I stopped at the dentist on the way home and next thing I know I'm starring at a big pair of extractors. Bye Bye one more tooth. How much does a bridge go for. I have a gap from the bicuspid to the last molar in back.

1. Mine cost $500

back when I had dental insurance. Some places in Springfield MO advertise they will make partials for under $300. Good luck! I hope you don't have a lot of pain and bleeding.

3. Might Want To PM Corarose

She had a systemic infection and had all her "teef" extracted a few months ago.

Will Pitt gave her pointers on how to handle a couple of Freeper dorks who were making "fun" of her in her classes.

As far as cost goes, you might want to travel or call around a bit. The cost of dental work in Louisville is less than a third of what the going rate is in Chicago and maybe 10% to 30% less in rural areas in our state.

4. Bridge cost me almost $3000 this spring

in NYC, which is more than the normal going rate, due to this being NYC and also being an incredible (and therefore expensive) dentist, but not signifiantly more than in other places. Back in WI, one could figure probably $2300-2500, according to my sister who lives there.

$375 to have one molar taken out; $3,000 to have the fake thingabob put in.

keeping the natural teeth = way cheaper.

5. Sorry to hear about your tooth extractions

It's takes allot out of you mentally and physically.

I feel for you.

If you smoke do not smoke for a few days or you could end up with a dry socket and you don't want one of those.

I use to be a Dental Assistant and I had beautiful teeth and right now I am sure If I want to stick around or not because of the way that I look right now.
