Why is it that no one tells me that dental procecures have a shelf life?

I have good looking teeth. That is not through brushing, flossing and general good eating. It is simply through money. I have paid for many complicated and lengthy dental procedures. And I’m happy to have done it.

My dentist – who rocks – is the first dentist to inform me that certain procedures have an expected duration. For example, a bridge is two crowns placed on two teeth with a fake tooth in the middle, which basically fills a space where a tooth is lost. This costs about $2,500 and is expected to last 10 years. An implant tooth in the same spot will cost about the same and is expected to last 25 years. An important fact, I think, to mention with the procedural recommendation.

However, the implant requires a 6 month waiting time before being put in – unless it’s a front tooth. Also important.

Since I’m not on a dental plan, and therefore coughing up the cash from my personal account, or more often my credit card, these are things I need to know.
