expensive dental procedure

went for the first of my reconstructive dental appointment today. always take care of your teeth. the cost of my accident is still counting. till now, i have spent close to $1000 and another $5000 is being slated for my dental reconstructive procedure. hopefully i can claim all if not part of the remaining $5000 from my insurance policy. worst thing out of this besides the money? i do not know when i can next go diving. at least not for the next 4-5 months. which means the march trip is very unlikely for me. arggg!
