Update:


Well, "project Hollywood smile" is now 50% complete. Just got back from my THIRD trip to the dentist and/or oral surgeon.......so far my top teeth alone have managed to cost me $2,000 plus. But its worth it.........My top front teeth are now done and for the first time since the accident I can smile again and I dont have to mumble when I talk to hide my shattered teeth. Im not even all that self conscience of a guy......I dont mind my facial scar or even the fact that the shape of my face will always look different.......but for some reason the shattered teeth just got to me. Anyway, Im pretty fuckin' pleased by it now. The guy who did the work ended up being just as good as his reputation and my top teeth look as if I've never even been in an accident.

Now for the funny bit: Because my bottom teeth have to waite a little bit (two more weeks) due to some damage to the gumline that still needs to heal as well as damage to the teeth themselves I have perfect white upper teeth and destroyed yellowish lowers LOL. It looks pretty "interesting". The reason is that one of my oral rinses when I had my jaw wired stained all my teeth this horrible yellow as if I never brushed them. You cant get the stain off by brushing.....it requires a full on profesional dental cleaning which I've only had done to the finished upper teeth. So the affect is kinda.......well.....interesting.

Either way I feel as good as I've felt since the accident. Two weeks from now I get my bottom teeth fixed and de-stained........then I gotta get my jaw operated on again to fix my bite......then Im good as new.

Hello Yankee buddy.

Glad to hear that you now have a smile for your dial! Good luck with the lower set of choppers to complete the look.

I can recall a one-liner: asking a blonde if she had dyed her teeth to match her hair! Guess you'll be pleased to have them all matching and more importantly operational ASAP. Gutted about that steak you brought home..

Ok Ok, ounce I get my bottom teeth taken care of I'll take a pic of my face and post it.......I figure its the least I can do for you guys. Might even post a pic that was taken of my face a few weeks after the accident so you can get an idea of the difference a little time makes in healing.

All the best for the recovery!!!
I have only been ridding for a couple of years and had my first accident 2 weeks ago. It's not nice having an accident so keep your spirits high.

Thanks for sharing your story, Im sure some riders on here need a wake-up call to what life is like after the carnage..... :gob:

Key learnings:

1. Always wear the right gear!
2. Always expect the unexpected around the next corner!

Hope you heal soon, there plenty of bike porn on this site to keep your mind of things. :wari:

3.Either that...or have a mum for a paramedic hehe.

But glad you came through as good as you did....also glad it wasnt me who had to come help ya out....,
Bit far for us to respond too!!
