I haven't had dental insurance for about 20 years now - almost 60% of Canadians don't. Getting an implant and crown here is $5000 - at least it was a few years ago which means it's probably even more expensive now. That reminds me to start doing research again on the dental tourist thing.

And somebody needs to explain to those pizza clowns that being successful in business isn't about what you want so much as what the customer wants.

The fuck does James Cameron know about OceanGate? He wasn't even there, we know this because he is alive; had he been there, he would be all dead and shit.

James Cameron traveled to the bottom of the Marianas trench in an overturned canoe using freeweights as ballast, so he is well informed on the engineering challenges of deep sea exploration.![]()

I had a crown replaced last Friday! About $800 after insurance but that was because they didn't have to redo the previous tooth surface.
My dentist has a really cool setup. They do a 3d scan of the tooth being replaced, prep the old tooth (grind down to a stump) then scan that. I was able to see a 3D model of my teeth on the monitor as they did the work. From there, they have tooth blanks from (I believe) a zirconium compound and a small milling machine. They mill the crown from the zirconium and then sinter it to harden (I think about 1000C for 30 minutes or so). Then they fit and bond the crown in your mouth and you're done. Take about 2 hours or so.
Previously it was a multi-day procedure when they send everything out for processing.
