 Which tooth was it?
If it was a molar, no sympathy. I had one pulled a couple years ago for all of $160, and the gap's not visible and never gives me any trouble. You pays your money and you takes your choices. (They tried to sell me a $5,000 implant to go in the gap. I roffled, and pointed out that I could just chew on the other side.)
Of course, if it was a front tooth, $2,500 was worthwhile to avoid having to move to Wainuiomata.
Although a front gap's a great place to tuck a durry. Could come in useful!
Then again, to quote the old adage, you haven't caught the bus yet... best you keep running, eh?
