Yesterday I got my new choppers and they appear to chop. It is much more stuff in my mouth, but the good Dr Lek cut the bridge down as much as he could and there is much more chewing area than the bridge that I had. and it contains five teeth...so lots of metal to hold the deal in place. I can see now that what I had was not as matching to my natural teeth so I chewed on one side more than the other. For anyone who says...oh how could you go to the dentist in this Asian country... they are good ...very good. I had really no pain from the extraction nor the new crown and I have more confidence in my bite than i have had in years. Also my front tooth looks like it should be there and not half falling out.... So for a deep cleaning, 5 xrays, a partial/aborted root canal, tooth extraction, crown on a molar, and a new five tooth partial upper plate... $1125. The savings would be the airfare.
On Tuesday I found there was a snag with statue shipment. It appears that the US customs require all crates to be monitored and verified and you need a broker. The broker doesn't take credit cards but a money order or certified check... so I strarted working on that yesterday and later found my good Summit creidit union could take care of a cashiers check.. and I have located print and fax place here in Chaing Mai for the paperwork...so just a hiccup in the process ....but good think I stopped at the statue store. I will try to think if there is anything I can not live without ie shopping and tend to that today...

Glad to see your choppers are a-okay. Hard to believe you've only a week left . Looking forward to seeing your (new) smiling face.
Hey - I'm a Summit member. Is there anything that I can do for you here ? I'm free some of Friday afternoon and all of Monday. I leave early on Tuesday.
