more dental stuff

yesterday i woke up and noticed a little more chipping on my front tooth. so i called the cosmetic dentist and got in yesterday. they want me to first go through zoom whitening - $550. (listerine whitening strips - $27) then, they want to put 4 veneers on me - $5000. ha! something about my crooked teeth. mind you, they are symmetrically crooked. no worse that kristen dunst's teeth. she doesn't seem to mind. so they want to bond my teeth - a temporary solution (10 - 15 years) for $500. so it seems the least i'm going to squeak by with is $500. hopefully, we can sell the car and the camper and it won't be such a big deal. sigh...
