You say "sadly", in the end was the work successful? Was it worth the time and money invested?

Absolutely yes. I would hate to wear dentures or have big gaps in my teeth. It just pains me to think what nice machine tools I could have bought for $20,000.

Every implant started as a tooth with a root canal. I have a few root canal’s yet to fail but expect it to happen.

Great to hear, I'm planning some work (I broke two teeth that had a fillings on a piece of bone in a chain hamburger) and the GIF was he same stuff the insurance adjuster sent me.

I am lead to believe $20,000 worth of tools is minimal compared to dental structure and long term health.

Yeah, you’re right about health. Still pains me.
