Hi,
My teeth are in pretty bad shape at the moment. I am hoping that someone might have some suggestions as to how I can get the necessary work done at a low cost/no cost because I am on a very limited budget and cannot afford to have all this work done. I have recently lost two teeth (they broke while eating) due to the lack of proper care. I mean, I brush and floss and all that stuff, but I just don't get to see a dentist because I cannot afford it. I am not a welfare case (NO offense to anyone, please), and am not looking for charity or anything like that - I work a full-time job and provide for myself without any aid whatsoever from anyone else. But it has gotten to the point where this can no longer be ignored, and I absolutely need the work done before my teeth are gone so far as to have no other choice but to have them completely removed, and dentures made. I would like to avoid that.
The has resulted in the deterioration of my teeth, staining and discoloration of them, and missing teeth as well. I am just guessing, but I thing that implants would suit me best as I am too young to have dentures, and do not want them anyway. And I thing I am going to be needing some veneers, as well as regular dental work to restore my teeth into good health.
Please let me know if you need more details. I am not sure if I explained myself well enough?
But, are there any places that I should look into, say, maybe a dental school or other clinic which could help me get the work done? If I was to go to a regular cosmetic dentist, and have ALL the work done that I need to have done, and was to restore my teeth completely, my best estimate is that it would cost me about $25,000-$30,000 and most likely even more than that (I'm in the U.S.).
Thank you in advance!
