WHY did you have all those teeth pulled ? Was it just a choice - or
were there problems with them? How long did they take with the
extractions ? ..... 55$ is the cheapest I have heard lately but it is
still almost 1200$ !! .... did they put-you-under for all of that?
How much were the dentures themselves?

Do you see this "conspiracy" yourself ? ..... where these dentists
want to KEEP you as a customer "forever" ? ..... I could get my
mouth "repaired" with the typical dental crowns and bridges - with
fragile and brittle root canals BUT they do not offer any kind of
guarantee or warranty with their products or services.

I saw this "conspiracy" ALSO at the University of Michigan dental
school - back in the early 90's - when I had 3000$ plus worth of work
done then - but I never paid attention to it. They had only about a
THIRD of the # of students that they could have. I asked WHY ......
and got a round-about-answer that the "market" did not "need" that
many dentists.

The way I figure that if I go with dentures - I am done paying their
outrageous fees.

What kind of "lectures" did you get? ... Eric

experiences with other dentist saying they could save them with root

money on. I went to "Affordable Dentures" they were over 4 hours
away but did not give me any run around or lectures just did what I
asked. Which was really nice. The uppers are fine but the lowers are
not fitting well at all. I have had the lowers out all day today
trying to heal my lower gums.
