Well, maybe we have crossed paths at one time or an other!!
So, I went to the dentist yesterday and got good news and bad news. The bad news, I need a ton of work done to my teeth. The good news, they have an in house financing and I got approved for financing.
I need a root canal and crown, fillings, another wisdom tooth pulled, a new bridge, teeth whitening. After all of this is done, they will pull 2 teeth on top and put braces on to pull my top teeth back and braces on the bottom to straighten my bottom teeth. I have already requested clear braces, metal braces at any age doesn't seem appeasing, but especially at 34!! In 2 years, my teeth will be perfect, finally!!
I have lived my whole life with an over bite and I have paid around $30,000USD on dental work, but it never looked good. I had basicaly given up. I went to this dentist because I knew I needed a root canal and more teeth pulled. They came highly recommended so I ghave them a try.
My first appointment, I was checked out by the dentist, periodontist, and orthodontist. They took Xrays and really inspected my teeth. So, I am more confident that they will come out as I have been told.
The other good thing, is how much I will pay. Here's another break down!
Root canal: $120
Post and crown: $120
4 Fillings: $180
3 Extractions (1 is wisdom tooth): $200
New bridge: $350
Teeth Whitening with Zoom: $100
Braces: $1000 (includes monthly maintenance)
Total price $2070
I couldn't believe the prices so, I had to tell you ladies!!! The dentist office is very professional and looks just like the ones in the US. I maybe living in Mexico, but I sure as hell expect American standards!!! The American in me has not gave in to the Mexican standards!
