  Swalker, im very hesitant about going to other countries for surgery...hell, im hesitant to get surgery HERE, but i think even if i CANT afford it, it is going to be needed.

  You should be. Dentists in Mexico can be very good...or very bad. The Mexican government is not very keen on regulations, so you never know what kind of training or reputation the dentist has. Yes, some are excellent and the results are comparable to care one would get in the USA, but there are no guarentees. If the dentist does a poor job, can you go back and have the work re-done at no charge? In the US, you could. Up front price is not the most important factor. Longevity and functionality IS. I've seen some great work done in Mexico...and some absolute junk. You want to take that gamble just to save a few bucks?

  What I mean by "drop in the ocean" is this:

  Dental insurance is limited to a few procedures each year. It is not meant for this kind of major reconstruction. The most generous dental benefit is around $2000 per year...a mear drop when one is thinking of full-mouth reconstruction. If a procedure is purely cosmetic, insurance may cover nothing at all.

  Don't count on dental insurance if you are thinking of reconstruction. Also, don't go with the cheapest dentist. This is long-lasting and can affect your overall health. Get somebody with a good reputation, extensive training, and a great lab. If you can't afford it, don't do it.

  Is the symbol the same as the real thing?

  by Will Power in

  a jw believes that consuming blood is the worst thing they could do against their god and they are willing to die before they'd eat take blood.

  during jesus' last meal with his followers he gives them wine to drink and tells them that it represents his blood.

  knowing this, they drink it.

  A good friend of mine who happens to be a Rabbi, says this about the Law:

  "The law was given to man...man was not given to the law"

  In other words, the life of any man (woman) is more important than the law. That sums it up nicely for me. The Jews have such a more balanced attitude towards the Law than JW's.

  Aude has given some fine advice.

  It is important to distinguish between people seeking reconstruction for purely cosmetic reasons, or those with restorative needs. When you're talking full-mouth reconstruction, it's very expensive and insurance is just spitting in the ocean. Figure on $1000 to $1500 per tooth for a good cosmetic dentist.

  Don't spend that kind of money on a general dentist who has taken a few cosmetic courses. Cosmetic dentistry is not a true specialty, but look for someone who has taken additional education with the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, LVI, or some other well-known institute. Also, the lab is extremely important, so ask which lab will be fashioning the finished product.

  It is not inappropriate to ask for patient testimonials - good dentists are proud of their work and will make available a list of satisfied customers.

  Prices should be all-inclusive. Follow-up visits and a night guard (if necessary) should be included in the total fee. Financing plans are usually offered and at quite a favorable interest rate. If you have good credit, a payment plan should be no problem.

  Make damned sure you get with somebody who understands occlusion. Your bite will change, and unless your dentist understands the nuances of overall bite registration, you could look great and have major TMJ problems.

  A new smile can make a world of difference and is well worth the cost in most cases.

  Enjoy!

  Mrs Jones:

  "Excuse me while I whip this out." Richard Roundtree ~ Blazing Saddles

  That would be Clevon Little. Give the man his due.

  Many of my favorites come from Monte Python movies, such as:

  "Where's it going to gestate? In a box?" Life of Brian

  "Blessed are the Greeks? why?" "Oh, it's blessed are the MEEK! Oh, I'm glad they're getting something, they have a hell of a time!" Life of Brian

  Grim Reaper: "Englishmen, you're all so fucking pompous. None of you have got any balls."

  Grim Reaper: "Shut up, you American. You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let me tell you something" and "I just wanna say." Well, you're dead now, so shut up." Meaning of Life

  Thanks for trying to make a mountain out of a molehill wasasister.

  You are welcome, as always. However, I don't think it is a "molehill" to many people who frequent your board. Many, many of us in this country strongly disagree with our leadership and do not support the invasion of sovereign nations who do not pose an immediate threat.

  If you bothered to read...

  As usual, the fault is with people who have "poor reading comprehension" (wish I had a nickle for every time you wrote that) rather than with anything you said. You bear absolutely no responsibility for the offenses other take.

  I'll try to be more careful in my reading next time.
