Fundraiser to help Storm get Dental Implants!
Full mouth dental implants replace all of the teeth on the upper or lower jaw. These differ from multiple implants because instead of placing an implant for each tooth, all of the new teeth can be supported on a single plate that uses four implants. When people are considering dental implants or dentures, they love the permanence of implants over the need for adhesives with dentures. They typical cost of full mouth dental implants can reach up to $30,000 without insurance.
Before your dentist or oral surgeon can place dental implants, they'll need to take X-rays or CT scans. These images allow them to see your jaw clearly and serve as the blueprint for the procedure. Diagnostic images cost between $25 and $200 depending on the number of images they need.
In some instances, you might need to have a tooth or teeth removed before your dentist can place a dental implant. The average cost for tooth extraction varies greatly. Some extractions only require local anesthesia while others require general anesthesia. Additionally, complicated procedures cost more. The cost for a tooth extraction ranges between $75 and $600.
You must have enough bone in your jaw to support the implant. If you don’t, your oral surgeon will need to perform a bone graft surgery. This procedure uses bone fragments from another part of your body, synthetic bone or bones from other sources. Bone fragments harvested from your body require two separate surgeries and are the most expensive. Charges for bone grafts cost between $250 and $3,000.
The experience of your dentist or surgeon also plays a role in the cost of dental implants. Inexperienced dentists under the supervision of a skilled professional can provide dental school implants. These are the most affordable dental implants, typically with a cost of around $500. The price for a dental implant from an experienced surgeon can cost up to $2,000. Additionally, you should expect charges from an anesthesiologist at around $500 to $800 per hour.

Update 2021
I can't believe how long it has been since I sat down at the keyboard to actually write on the blog. 2020 was a hard year for everyone and I found it difficult to be in the writing frame of mind unless it was regarding the happenings in Washington, D.C. and I did not want to bring that over onto this blog. Twitter and Facebook served me well for those outpourings.
I did some more writing and editing of the books in the current work process. One which is a historical fiction, based somewhat on my family history and the other a children's work with a "Reader's Digest" condensed preview online ( http://cearastory.blogspot.com/). Both require not only the creative process but research as well and that has been the most difficult and time consuming part.
In addition, I have been putting together an autobiography for my children. I had often wished that I had taken note of more of my grandparent's and parent's stories while they were still with us. By putting this into a "book" form, I hope to give them a little more of my history and an understanding of how my past affected the mother that I became.
My battle with cancer continues and it was also a factor in the lapse in writing as energy levels were some times just too low and I will admit that with everything happening during 2020, depression was an issue. I am more optimistic now.
