First of all thank you for reading this post and hopefuly for your help!

My husband (36yr) has several teeth that are rotting away or are already pulled out and the jaw was filled with silver. Besides of the pain which only occurs occasionally, I would love to see my husband smile more. We have a medical plan through my job, but unfortunately dental is not included. I think some of the teeth need to be pulled out and bridges might be a solution. However we don't have any sources available to pay the prices I've found on the internet even with most insurance discounts (only upper jaw $700).

So I found this website in my research and was hoping for some advise on how to approach this problem.
Any insurances cover this kind of treatment in full or are there cheaper ways to get this fixed? We live in North NJ and know there is a Dental University that might be cheaper, but we you don't get a approximate quote till you have a first appointment (which by itself already costs $40). Does anyone have experience with that?

Thank you once again!!
