Ugh…I’m sorry. Dental work is never fun, even less so when it costs thousands of dollars.
Ah yes. I completely understand your dilemma/pain. I got an implant about 3 years ago, am still paying it off, and guess what? After having fallen last October, I can now look forward to three more down the road. Makes my student loan debt from years ago look like pennies. Our dental "insurance" pays about $10 towards each one.
What a country!
I went through that whole process and finally got the tooth put in three weeks before pandemic shutdowns. I had no idea it took so long. Good luck with it! FYI, I chose not to be put in the 'twilight' sleep for it, and it was less expensive (and I didn't get sick like I usually do with that). (Plus I didn't need anyone to drive me home). I was all novocained up, of course, and did meditative breathing the whole time (but I do that when I get my teeth cleaned). I had to ask if it was ok, as I think putting one out is the default.
Let me know if you have any questions about the whole thing.
Now I understand why even comfortably off professionals may have a missing tooth. Yikes!
