Big Ripp offs ?

I have a buddy of mine who makes teeth. He has been taken care of my plate needs for years. He learn the trade from his father and he from his father. All the dentists send the chit to him. He does my whole plate when I need new ones for $100.00. Thats five teeth worth.

Ya and for those who thinks superglue works, it might but its only a temporary solution, superglue is water soluable. It takes awhile, but it is.

How about $525 for a glorified hockey mouth guard - went to the dentist and he told me I was grinding my molars and causing some issues. He cemented up the teeth, filled, etc. and then told me a mouthguard was necessary. I figured with the general markup it would be about $100, but no prices were discussed (mistake on my part). Takes a quick impression and off I go. I go back 2 weeks later - he tells me here it is - I say how much - he says $525 - I say no way don't want it - he tells me that I have to take it as it was a mold of my mouth. I am PO'd but like a chump I paid. Wife went to Wal Mart and picked one up that was similar for $15.
