Insurance w/re Gold Teeth

[Jim Schue]

Messed up a few days ago and accidentally chomped down on a fork tine while eating. Chipped the hell out of one of my two top front teeth.

 

What does insurance cover when it comes to accidents of this nature? Can I get a gold tooth and it be covered? I've always wanted a gold grill.

I have no idea, but you need to go Ernest T. Bass if you are going to do it. (3:50 mark)

From the tread title alone, I knew I had to open up this one. LOL

 

My first thought also was Ernest T Bass :lol2:

 

 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

I can't really get close enough to it with a selfie.

C'mon Spindoc, where you at on this one?

Thought you might be joking. Guess not. Typically if you have major dental coverage, it's at or around 50% on crown/bridge. Seldom will they dictate in your plan what material the provider uses as his choice for the crown, so you could get a lovely gold crown on that tooth. The stipulation from the insurance may require a pre-authorization with accompanying radiograph that would show the tooth indeed needed treatment and it wasn't simply cosmetic. That should be readily seen on film by your doctor. So, odds are you'll be on the hook for 50% of it. Of course you'll likely need a "core" to repair the tooth before it can be prepared for the crown so you'll incur that charge as well, but that's usually covered at a higher percentage on most plans (80% normally)

 

Like 2C said, let's see the pic.

There's an icon at the top right of the camera screen with your iPhone. It looks like a camera with a recycle sign inside it. Hit that bad boy and it'll flip it around for you --- should be able to get close then.

 

Btw, not that you need it, but I FULLY support this idea!

Jim, I can just picture you at the next BGP get together.

Not gonna lie — there's been a part of me that wanted a gold grill ever since the first time I saw Public Enemy in concert. If I can get the gold grill going on, the next step is a four-finger ring for each hand — LOVE on one and HATE on the other.

Tried it — photo's too grainy so it's not readily obvious.

Jim, we all know you have great photography resources at your disposal. Your excuses are no good here. :lol2:

No kidding. It's like you saying you can't add.

I have no problem taking photos of others. Self-portraiture is not my strong suit.
