Emily,
I sure know the feeling, I'm very self concious about my teeth. I've been through the teeth issues before & with
RSD.
Unfortunately Tessa is right, it would take a miracle for insurance to cover
implants. I know it makes no sense b/c they'd never have to pay for issues
in treating those teeth ever again right?
Well, years ago (before RSD) I thought I'd done my homework well enough
& decided to go get 2 implants in Mexico. WRONG!
I'll share that long ordeal in another time if you're interested.
I have a couple good implants now (also before RSD) but it is
SURGERY
involving deep jaw bone & very close to nerves. Last thing you need is
to spread it to your face. It's traumatic & usually the implants have to
integrate with the bone for 6 mo. +/- before they can add the abutment
& tooth.
Absolutely, explore getting it covered in settlement, in the meantime
try to find less invasive ways to improve your smile.
