Hopefully I finally get new tires in the morning. I am supposed to drive to Holbrook, see a client in-town, see a client in Pinetop, and then see a client on-line.
I am totally going to wake up early and work on my Accord this time!
I broke another crown while flossing. Another one came off a few years ago and a third is loose.
I tried to fix the first two. I sure hope I have better luck with this one!
Once again I am looking at going to Mexico for dental work, which isn't as convenient from northern Arizona!
This isn't encouraging!
Three implants cost $5,000 in Mexico?!
The dentist who looked at my loose crown said that he didn't have the right screwdrivers to tighten it.
Who hasn't been there?
Just not with teeth.
"Most crowns last between five and 15 years before needing to be replaced (or at least repaired)."
Does Your Dental Crown Need to Be Replaced?
That crown is already several years old.
This just confuses me further!
Three all-porcelain crowns would cost $1,290--26.3% of what Dave Brock paid.
I just didn't realize that when I needed a root canal I would pay $1,000 for it, $1,000 for an implant, and $1,000 for a crown.
I sure hope that another dentist could reuse my implant!
Their root canals include posts and cost $300 or $320, so supposedly this would cost $2,250--less than half of what Dave paid!
They show several cities and Nogales would be the closest, 4:40 from Show Low, but a bit over 5 hours if I drive through Payson and avoid an hour of canyon driving.
The page says a dentist needs a Cerec or 3d CAD/CAM machine for same-day implants.

If you have a regional passport location in your area, you can set an appointment to get a same day passport. You just have to present a proof that you have an appointment with a Mexico dentist. Here´s a link to regional passport centers: US Regional Passport Centers.

I have talked to many dang foreigners in other nations and looked into renewing my passport, but it never felt right.
I read that if you have plane tickets you can expedite your passport, but they weren't doing that.

Routine 6 to 9 weeks
Expedited 3 to 5 weeks
Expedited at Agency Must have international travel within 14 calendar days

They link to a page, which leads me to the
Western Passport Center in Tucson.

If you prefer not to take the risk of it arriving late, you should plan to submit the application at a regional agency.
You can set up and appointment at the regional agency in Miami or DC. Of course, this means you have to travel there.

How can I get a new passport in 3 weeks?
In order to avoid mail delays, travel to D.C. or Florida in-person?
I would rather visit D.C., where I lived for 2 years, or Florida than Tucson, but
Rome to Rio says that it is only 27 minutes faster to fly than to drive, but how long would it take to get off the plane, walk to baggage, retrieve your bag, and get out of the airport?
How long would it take to arrive at the airport, check in, go through security, etc.?
I looked into taking a train, but it would be 2:20 by shuttle, 5 minutes on a tram at Sky Harbor, 21 minutes by another tram.
The light rail?
A 14-minute bus ride, and then another 3 hours by bus.
