I explained that no it won't, it's just a different problem and it's nothing like what you're expecting. You'll hate them blah blah.

She shows up a month later with no teeth ready for dentures. Ok, well here we go. I make her a set and surprise surprise, she hates them.

"I can't taste my food, I feel like I have a mouth full of plastic, I can't chew like I used to".

Well, no shit. You do have a mouth full of plastic and you now have about 30 percent of normal function. At best. I had a prosthodontist in school always say "dentures are a replacement for no teeth, they aren't a replacement for your teeth".

Anyway, her insurance pays half and she owes the other half for them (bout 1k). She says "I'm not paying until I am happy". Uh, sorry, but thats not how this works.

Anyway, being the nice guy I am and all, I do like 4 adjustments and a full reline on them at no charge and take up chair time for the past month.

She has her mom drop the old dentures off today with a letter that not only will she not be paying her half but that she wants reimbursed the insurance money for the other half.

The letter I'm sending back isn't likely to be pleasant.

Hire Mac to go go rough her up a bit.

Meth head?
