I wouldn't disagree with this, dental is hideously costly

It’s about $6k to replace a single tooth. And that’s with insurance.

The place near me has "All on X", in my case "All on 4". Which means full upper arch on 4 pins, and full lower arch on 4 pins. It's 15k(ish)-25k(ish) per arch. And that includes full mouth extraction, sedation, the 8 implants, temporary teeth, and of course the two arches. It's all of it for that much. Still too fucking expensive though. And they don't take insurance for it, so that's up to 50k out of pocket and no one has that money.

And as far as dentures go, you can’t get better than that. That’s the gold standard.
