If they don’t go the same way as implants
I have a tooth that simply decided to check out (I think they called it internal resorption)
My insurance only partly covered a bridge (a fake tooth glued to the others on each side) and said an implant was only for "aesthetics" and so wasn’t covered. So, according to them, the thing that looks like a real tooth, acts like a real tooth, get taken care of like a real tooth… the real "set it and forget it" solution….. was just for show!
I could totally see them argue that regrowing a tooth is just a luxury….. 🤦♂️
Insurance company CEOs' limbs should be considered "aesthetics".
Implants are (to me) some lovectaftian horror shit. I'm missing a tooth between my incisor and my front teeth, and after reading about the implant procedure decided I'm fine being mistaken for a hockey player. Looks kinda tough
Had my 2 front ones done, full posts into my skull. Had to actually get them redone semi recently actually, just the teeth not the posts. I can tell you that while it is intimidating, I'm pretty happy with the results. Then again 2 front teeth is a pretty big difference. The cost was also fairly huge as well.
Dental insurance is a scam
How much is it without insurance?
