    Thanks, that is very helpful re the costs. I can have some parts of it paid for by Medicare and other parts by PHI but I'm not sure yet what bits would be paid each way and no idea of what my out-of-pockets will be. First most important thing is getting the offending tooth out - I guess i have time to think about my options while that heals.

    From memory I got about $2,500 back from the orthodontic, $1,000 from the surgery and only about $700 tomorrow for the crown.

    I had good PHI extras cover, with the maximum back on dental/orthodontic that our fund offers. Lifetime maximum for oral surgery (I think that includes some other dental work) was $3,000.
