I came off my bike a few years ago now, and broke my fall using a rather novel combination of outstretched arm and then jaw- my arm was fine.
My jaw on the other hand smashed, on both sides- a bilateral fracture.
Not ones to be left out my teeth decided that they'd join in, and shattered and sheared en masse.
I had the majority of my teeth capped or otherwise repaired, and two of them (which were smashed off at the gum line) were wholly removed, then they drilled my gum and installed titanium pegs, then screwed implants into those- more titanium with a ceramic covering fused on top.
Total time from accident to having my teeth back? Around two years.
Total cost? Just over £5,000.
I would recommend getting a different frame.
