I can ask my sister how much something like that would cost w/out insurance tomorrow when she is awake. What part of cali are you in?

My dad chipped his tooth and I think uninsured cost was a couple hundred. Obviously the worse a tooth is chipped the more it costs to repair. Maybe find a dental school in your area and be their guinea pig?

+1 for the gold grill... lol
I chipped my two front teeth by chewing on a peach pit when I was a kid.

thanks guys! ill check into the school thing.. Its one of the top visible front teeth too.. chipped the edge corner of it. Dam Hieneken bottle lol.. oh well i still drank it after that and tried to enjoy the rest of the night while I could. Lesson learned = dont drink bottles around people haha cuz someone could hit your drink into your teeth..

Im gonna be soo broke, tryin to pay for this repair, and buying books for school. I wonder if places would allow payments instead of all the ammount at once?

Ill check out loma linda, im in riverside so its not far

Just tell people you are British and itll give you an excuse to walk around with bad teeth... and save 200 bucks (more money for beer and legwarmers)
