How long can I afford to wait before completion of this Dental procedure?

My first time skiing and I wind up with one tooth broken off and three moderately loose ones all on the top row and in the front.





Accident happened Jan 12 2008 and suggested procedure still not done. This due to things not working out between Dentist, Relative financing operation, and Insurance Provider not seeing eye to eye.D





I was forced to go to new dentist to get this done. The new Dentist is in my provider network.





The procedure suggested originally was:


Extraction of full tooth, partial tooth, root canal on two other teeth; along with capping them. In place of two extracted teeth would be a bridge.





I am wondering if prolonging this can make my condition worse and more expensive. I am being somewhat forced to wait as most seem to agree that I should allow the Dentist's Pre-determination submittal to be fully processed by the Provider as I would have a more concrete assurance that said amount would be covered.

check your medical policy. Since this was an accident, you may have more benefits and quicker response w/ that. Good Luck!
Reply:it's really a hard procedure of doing something with your teeth. I once was faced to cure a decayed tooth, and this procedure lasted a month! I have to go to hospital every week!
Reply:You're in pretty bad shape so it won't hurt to wait. In fact it may be to your advantage. There's a possibility you wouldn't need to have the root canals. Have the dentist check the vitality of the teeth in another couple of weeks with a pulp tester to see if they are vital. If they are, then you won't need RC.
