I know it's been a while, but I am still pissed off about it. back about 2 years ago, my front left vampire tooth fell out. It was a vaneer and a bridge or whatever, so it was like 3 teeth in one. I went to the dentist.. he was all smiles and real friendly.. turns out he was just like a used car salesman and just wanted my money.. he did NOT do what was best for me, but what would make him the most money.
He said I had 2 options.. I could make 3 fake teeth and it would cost at least $300 per tooth. (probably more to install em) or.. the cheaper route.. so he said.The cheaper route involved the oral surgeon cutting my 6 front top teeth so I could get a dentures (flipper) to fill the empty spot. It turns out that I can't even use the stupid dentures to eat at all. Now I am 30% toothless and I hate that dentures.
I would go to get the flipper adjusted and the dentist would then have something else he wanted to do.. MORE money. He wouldn't even tell me.. I just had to pay for each time. What if I cannot afford his silly little visits? There was no end in sight. I just stopped going to see him or answer the phone if it was his office calling.
I bet it would have been cheaper, after all was said and done, to have the 3 fake teeth made and anchored to my jaw, vs getting all my front top teeth cut out AND I would have my biting ability still. and I could talk without the lisp, too. That dentist didn't have my best interest at heart at all.. the two-face guy just wanted HIS money.. as much as he could squeeze out of me!
