So I've decided that I really really need to do something nice for myself and get my smile fixed.

I checked into Lumineers (I guess they're like Veneers, but supposedly cheaper) and they are around $1200.....a tooth. WTF!

I can't afford that.

that's crazy!

All I see in my head when I think of these shits are Jodie Sweetin post-meth. OMG< SHE COULD EAT THROUGH A PIECE OF PLYWOOD WITH THOSE BIG BOYS!




I'm SCARED!

Seriously ?

WTH man

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I'm sorry Miggy. They just creep me out for some reason. As long as you don't get the long horse ones like her, I'm sure you'll look super hot.

Although is it even possible that your smile get any better?

INSATIABLE said:

You're sweet!

I'll get the rice grain ones.

why is fixing teeth so expensive???

even for braces it's a lot! I'd be paying $2000 even with insurance

Veeners are very expensive I used to be a dental assistant I know. More dentist allow you to finance something like this like I am with my eye surgery. Get two or three prices and also check with your local dental school.

They do the work for a 1/3 of the prices with the most senior students and the best instructors looking on. They take insurance and set up payment plans as well.

Good luck!!!

OMG! Thank you so much. I WILL look into that.

It's crazy how much that costs. A friend of mine just spent 30 grand on his teeth.

MoniGram said:

What? Good lawd!!! My teeth are f'd up BUT not that f'd up. I don't think.....

BUT, it is a good investment.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I know...he told me about it while I was on vacation...his teeth looked fine before...he is just a money snob. I could think of many other things to do with that kind of cash.

Something to keep in mind: don't you have to get them replaced over time?

RipHer2Shreds said:

That is a great question that I can ask when I'm shopping around. Thank you!

I just want them to fix them like in all the reality shows. They only have to suffer for 4 or 5 months and that's it. I don't want to do 2-3 years of office visits.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

2-3 yrs of office visits???

MoniGram said:

I mean, if I have to get braces or something. Doesn't it take like 2 years?

My 10 year old daughter will be going for her first appointment with the orthodontist in 2 weeks, I am scared at the price, but the girl needs help in the crooked teeth department!

apparently i must be lucky, my teeth are perfectly shaped and alined. Ive only had a 3 fillings in my youth, which have recently been replaced with white instead of the silver mercury mess.

And for that, we all hate you.

Can you believe A DENTIST chipped a little bit of my front tooth but because I'm a wus and was 13 years old, I didn't say anything.....I think he was drunk.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I had mine for 3 years.

JustErin said:

Eeek. But they were worth it 'cause you're gorgeous.

Maybe I'll go down to Mexico and have them done.....
