Hello! This is the first photo I've uploaded of me smiling in over 4 years due embarrassment and pain from the amount of dental issues I have. Aside from the smiling aspect, I only have approximately 5 "functioning" teeth on my top palette and I'm missing 4 on my bottom palette, making it incredibly difficult to eat.

These issues arose due to a combination of medical issues and severe depression over many years without having the funds to manage the necessary upkeep.

I hate asking for anything, but I need help. I'm not in a position to tackle the $12,000 I was quoted to receive the necessary implants I'd need and I'm in pain almost every day from eating. Even if it's just a few dollars, please help me be able to smile again.

Here is a breakdown of all of the costs:

Updated Treatment Timeline & Costs

Phase 1 (2025) — Extractions

Extraction only: $918 (out-of-pocket)

Optional: Extractions + Pre-Made Denture = $1,760 (combined total at time of extractions)

Incremental cost to add the pre-made denture: $842

Phase 2 (2026 — after insurance resets)

Implants + Final Snap-In Denture

Day of implants (4 implants): $3,400 (due day of procedure after $2k insurance, partial payment. Remainder due at time of healing scans)

Healing period: 3–4 months

Scan + Final Snap-In Denture: $3,000

(Total for implants and scan/final denture is $6,400)
