Re: OT: Dental work prices
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: queequeg</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I just burned through around $5000 clams since August getting caught up on some neglected repairs. A total of three crowns, including two root canals; one of which required a crown lengthening, AKA gum shortening, in order to proceed with the crown. Also had a chipped tooth magically repaired. And detailed, deep cleaning as well.
After years of paying for the orthodontics for my daughters and the coaxing of my wife to stop being a martyr (Or was it "A Pussy"? Or perhaps "Cheapskate"?) and get my friggin choppers in order, I finally got the message and got off my wallet.
My amazing new smile has caused a wicked spike in the already frequent and ongoing sexual harassment I experience from the women in the buildings I work in...
Some people offer that it may be that I am working on the doors to their offices and thus they have to dress nicely, walk my way, squeeze by me, smell nice, say hi, etc., in order to get to their work...
Uh huh... </div></div>
Parallel live QQ. Just had about the same thing here except for the gum work.

Uncle, boss, and a friend have jumped the border and saved about half. One of them had a nearly whole mouth full (except his front 8) of veneers done for just under $10K, which from what I've been told is about $20K here. As good or better procedures without the stupid high costs associated with US practices.</div></div>
Most of the time you can get the same thing on this side of the border if you pay cash. I would not go to TJ for all the Tea in China.
