So I go to a dentist here in NYC last week and the price for this kind of work (caps, implants, etc etc): $32,000. Surgeries, down time, etc: 18-24 months to look People magazine-ready.
Sigh. Dentures anyone?

I briefly considered the implants...but the cost was too insane. I was gettin' quotes of $1200 per tooth. We had the money at the time - but I just couldn't justify it. Plus the procedure of putting 32 screws into my jaw made me somewhat squeemish.
I've never regretted the dentures.
