Fast lunch – What are you having? I got a salad of romaine, tomato, mushroom, onion, and Margherita salami, w/homemade olive oil & apple cider vinaigrette, a cup of hot beef broth made from bones over the weekend, and some celery sticks with this hot pickle mayo I whipped up (paprika, dash of sriracha, and these: https://goo.gl/K43dPr) #LowCarbHighFat

    It would be cheaper if you can do that. My single implant cost me 2500 dollars. I can’t imagine if you have more than one to get…. yikes!

    I even have good dental insurance —- my out of pocket, thus far, $700. I still have to buy the tooth! I will guess that will be another 900 dollars since it’s got the “screw” attached to it so it can screw into the implant in my jaw!

    Yes. It’s a very expensive process. It’s taken almost a year , as I said, to get it fixed.

    You have to get the old tooth removed ( in my case, it was an already capped tooth). Allow that to heal completely.

    You then must get tons of exrays so oral surgeon can determine his approach to implant so he does not hit or kill the roots in nearby teeth.

    You then go and get the implant into your jaw. One hour surgery. Lots of drilling into jaw. He places implant. That has to heal over. You go back to surgeon two weeks after surgery. He determines if you’re healed well enough for next process. He gives you ok; sends you back to your dentist where he fits you for new tooth. Orders tooth.

    They then send you back to oral surgeon where he cuts open area and screws new tooth into implant.

    Jesus…. it’s been a process.
