Good luck Ritchie! Hey, it's a necessary evil, and well worth the money and discomfort. Salt water rinses are your friend!

 

[NorM]

I want to see that $10K smile function. Therefore I will buy you dinner when your ready.
Hey Maddog,

ROADTRIP!​

We can also have a Natural Sterling Artsy Fartsy photo shoot and showdown!

 

[Musicman Nut]

Well folks, I just shelled out close to $10,000.......

And on Friday morning at 11:30, I begin the first steps toward a complete new set of teeth, a rebuilt lower jaw, and a partially rebuilt maxilla (upper jaw).........

Not to mention muscle repairs to my lower lip....

I am bloody terrified!!

Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

All the best,

Ritchie

Well If this makes you feel alittle better, I was doing a Show Dec 2005 And Some guy who was drunk of course fell Backwards his Head hitting The Mic Stand, I was Singing a song, lights we're in our eye's so we on stage could see nothing of the Crowd, Security People ran for the guy but not in time and the Mic Snapped my front tooth off at the Bone,

So with the Best Surgen in town and $12000 CASH Money I have 2 New front Teeth, front Left and eye Tooth and too see it now you'd never know they we're implants.

So hang in there, I'm sure your scared but the right Dential People will make you look better then maybe before. we're all prayin for ya. Good Luck

That's amazing, did the guy have to pay?

 

[Kirby]

I have a good friend who is a cosmetic dentist and another who deals in complicated facial surgery. The end results usually always justify the means. Most patients are more comfortable after the surgery than they were prior to the event. I know the anticipation sucks, but hang in there, the end is worth it.

Best of luck!

No The Guy was escorted Out, No one got any Names, we Had a 10 Minute Pause I finished the Show then went to the Hospital, The Venue's insurance deductable was $25K, So i Just said screw it, l'll Pay for I needed it to be right, So from that time on, it's been a Crown CM 311 Headset, which Sounded better then any Beta we we're using anyway.

No more Mic Stands, those days are gone,lol

Holy crap...good luck, Ritchie!! I wish you the best.

All best bro

 

[RitchieDarling]

Thanks!!

Thanks for all the encouraging words everyone! I don't know of any other community, especially a community of musicians, who would be so supportive.

This is something that I have put off for a while now. But it has gotten to where I can no longer ignore it. The pain is, at times, unbearable. Saturday night in Dallas, I had to cut out early because of it.

Fear of surgery and dentists is a major factor here. But I am tired of the pain and the embarrassment that I have put up with for years. So, time to take the plunge. Get it all sorted out and maybe by the time NAMM rolls around, I'll have that $10,000 smile.....

Hmmmm.......possible band name: Ritchie Darling & The $10,000 Smile

Nah, it sounds like one of those ABC after school specials!

Thanks again, you all rock!!

Just dont let them talk you into making the new chompers whiter than white. I call them metrosexual white teeth.

Yeah, they showed me some samples on Monday. They were frightening!

There were ten or so on one card. It looked like an Osmond family reunion!

Ritchie

 

[RitchieDarling]

12 hours and counting.......

Wow! Less than 12 hours before I go under the knife.

They gave me some pills to relax me. But THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!

Bleh........I feel ill......


Ritchie

 

[soniq]

Good luck Ritchie. Soon you'll look like this ---> .

 

[PocketGroove82]

Osmond family reunion....BWAAAHAA.
That is some funny sh!t. Best wishes man!
Just be thankful that you're not being worked on buy Army "dentists".
I had a cavity and they told me to drink water, take motrin and drive on!

 

[jamesattard]

good luck man

 

[Dr Stankface]

Best of luck to you my friend! Hope the surgery goes well and please keep us posted!

 

[Psycho Ward]

Good vibes from the mountains of Virginia, a little cold, but good vibes none the less!

I have to go for my 6 month checkup monday morning, I've already started drinking!

And since I'm paying them to clean my teeth I'm going to eat Oreo's in the waiting room.

 

[silverburst]

Oreos, I'll have to try that. A liverwurst with onions sandwich, followed by a cigar on the way to the dentist might be a nice touch too...
