Boy, Dave you hit the nail on the head! Ends up I'll be having 3 teeth that broke at the gum line and another that sports a gold cap which has been apparently deteriorating underneath it, all to be extracted. I've chosen to have general anesthesia for the procedure since they are talking about the possibility of bone removal or cutting. All to the tune of $3,485.00 😬 Thankfully we do have dental insurance, just waiting to receive our new cards from the new provider.
