    My experience was, and still is an absolute nightmare my friend. I had a full set of dental implants. When they tried pulling my teeth out, they couldn't extract them the normal way because the roots of my teeth have grooves on them like a screw, so they had to cut them out. By cutting them out some bone came with it, and my sinuses dropped, so therefore I had to have multiple bone grafts and 2 sinus lift surgeries. If that was not enough, all the implants on the top failed for unknown reasons, but all those on the bottom are perfectly healthy. I then tried again with having all the implants put in on top but with a different brand, as the dental experts felt that possibly my body was rejecting the materials in the implants, so they ended up using the same brand of implants that I have on the bottom, and again they failed. It is unexplainable. I now have a fixed upper denture. Total cost I have shelled out is $78,000 thousand dollars, as insurance does not cover cosmetic.

    To make matters worse when I went to the dentist originally I was only going to have a bridge replaced, but was talked into getting implants, so I decided to go all out and have a full set put in, as I was tired of dealing with dental issues, as it is a hereditary problem I have in my family. By the way I had my dental care done in one of the most prestigious dental clinics in the U.S. This process has taken over 3 years.

                  This.

                  I mean, what sort of place is this, bunch of 15 year olds and their corny items, though they like dropping big $$ on lines etc.

                    My skateboard story took place in 1992. It's called humor. You will never see me brag about a wager.

                      Pathetic argument.
                      Most of monetary mistakes were in childhood.
                      So you would respect someone more for getting fukked over on a house, or a car? That makes them more worthy?
                      or stupid?
