Where did you have it done?

I ask because you did pay 10x more if you had that dentistry work done here in the US and the outcome is as you've described.

Yep, in the U.S. So I suppose the slightly lower risk didn't work out for me, but if I had to advise anyone else on the hypothetical decision, I'd say pay 10x more and get the slightly lower risk. It's not enough money to save given how shitty the consequences can be.
