Help Andrew FINALLY get their dental implants.

Hello.

My name is Andrew Montana. I grew up with little money and no access to quality health care. Add onto that having a family history of being susceptible to dental issues, and I have had pretty bad teeth for most of my life. Once I was old enough to start going to the dentist alone, much damage had already been done. Twenty years ago, at 18, I had to have my first tooth taken out. Since then, I have dealt with tooth decay and broken teeth and had multiple extractions without the funds to care for them properly.

In 2020, after primarily working in the service industry, I got the opportunity to change careers and start a new path that included health and dental care. For the first time in my life, I was able to start taking care of my teeth. I found a dentist who takes great care of me and my mouth and soothes my anxiety around dental work and my dental insecurities. Over the last year and a half, we have made and begun executing a plan to get my mouth in great shape. This work has included cleaning, fillings, a crown and in December of last year, eight extractions at once! We are now at the point that it's time to get implant posts put into my jaw so we can get implants in as soon as possible. The posts should go in quickly, so I don't lose any more bone area to hold them.

Here is where help is needed. I have already spent nearly $4,000.00 on appointments, cleanings and extractions. Even with an excellent dental care plan, much money is to be spent on this work. The implant posts will be $12,000.00 out of pocket and done all at once to save the hassle of multiple visits, healing periods, and uses of sedation. Then after a 4-5 month healing period, we will be ready to put the implant crowns in, which will cost approximately another $8,000.00. I am asking for assistance with the implant post fees, as it is a substantial amount of money to spend at one time and moving forward quickly with this procedure is essential.

Finally being able to have total dental health will change my life. It will set me up for overall health long term. I will be able to eat things I haven't been able to in almost 20 years. It will improve my smile and, in turn, my confidence. And this work will keep my teeth in great shape for many years.

Your assistance in reaching this goal, which I never thought would be possible, would literally change my life and I would be forever grateful to everyone who could help make it happen.

Thank you for reading and considering donating or sharing this for me.
