muikabochi 208 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 It will be interesting to see if my last visits for this procedure are more expensive. This is when I get the tooth capped. Obviously, I have no idea going in. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Next to last time today. Next week I will be fitted with a 'Jaws' metal tooth. Well cool. I was offered a "white" tooth - but that is not covered by the health thingy so very expensive. This tooth is on the back/side, so didn't think it was worth spending money on. Unfortunately, you'll have to look deep into the side of my mouth to see this new one sadly. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 How much would it have cost, muikabochi? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think he said about 50,000 yen. If it was a visible tooth, I'd consider it. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yes that is about what I paid for my white tooth as although it is to the side it would have been visible from the front. I have a shiny metal tooth though at the back where it is not seen. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Jaws! He was cool. Well up until near the end of Moonraker. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Wow! 50,000 for one tooth. I never realised it was that expensive. I have supplemental insurance from a private company so only have to pay the first 5,000¥ as a deductible. I guess having two of my teeth done in white actually made up the cost of the yearly insurance fee for a change! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yes, from free (Jaws) to 50,000 yen ('white')! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 All done. Total cost just over 12,000 yen over 10 visits. Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 How's the "Jaws look" muika? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 muika, you went 10 times right? How much of that would you say was faffing about? Is 10 times really necessary? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I really don't know. 3 of those times he called "cleaning". So not sure why it was done 3 times rather than all at once. I didn't get to see what was going on so have no idea really. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Cleaning 3 times? Would love to know a dentist to ask him about all this. It's very 面白い Link to post Share on other sites
