Hi,
First no way i am going to get all implants, i called and its between $40,000 - $75000, thats not only crazy high but even if i had that money i would not do it.
So i went to the dentist today to get my last two teeth pulled. I been without the rest of my teeth for 6+ years now since my MC accident. I ask them if they thought i lost too much bone for dentures.
She said that x-rays would tell the story more but just by looking she feels that my uppers would hold still. However, my lowers would not hold due to bone loss, and the only way to do the lowers would be get 3-4 implants on the bottom front. Then after they heal they can design lower dentures to hook into those implants to secure the lowers.
But she said the cost would be around $15,000
The thing is that im not even sure i want to try to save up for that or borrow that just for dentures. Here is my reasoning.
1. I am ASexual/hetero - so sex is not important to me.
2. I am not interested in romantic relationships at all.
3. I have no intention of changing who i am or improving myself for someone else.
4. Im not interested in vanity.
5. Medicare does not pay for them or even help pay for them. Even though every Doctor i have ever spoke with said that not having teeth is one of the greatest health risks there is.
So basically i have gotten this far without them. I would love to have them for better health but that is alot of money.
So i have to decide if its worth $15,000 so i can eat pretzels lol I crave them all the time...
