I have had bad teeth all my life so you would think that by now I would
be used to this stuff, but I'm not.

One of my brothers had "soft" teeth. He got tired of going to the dentist
several times a year, a couple of fillings here, a crown there. Year after
year. So he had all of his teeth replaced with implants! It was a
year-long process. He had major bone loss so she had to do bone grafts in
his jaw first (ugh). I forget what it cost but I know it wasn't cheap. I
seem to recall he borrowed against his 401K. (He negotiated a slightly
lower rate in exchange for re-doing the website for her practice.)
Naturally, a couple of months after he *finally* had a mouth full of "new"
teeth, one of them broke off the post and had to be replaced. I guess it
didn't solve all his going to the dentist problems after all
