Help Nate get his life back with Dental Implants
Donation protected
Hello my name is Ashley. I am starting this GoFund me to help Nate (my significant other) be the best version of himself. Nate like a lot of us feared the dentist from past experiences and the overwhelming cost. Now after many years his teeth and bone has deteriorated and the teeth have become unstable.
For the last few years he has had to adjust the things he eats, the way he talks and even if he can smile. He finally got up the courage to go see a dentist in 2019 and their initial consultation left him discouraged and feeling even more hopeless. Nate is 47 years old, in great health, active, attractive and has a lot of life left to live! They advised he would need all his teeth removed and it would cost as much as a Mercedes Benz. They would remove all his teeth and he would have to wait for months with no teeth for the bone and gums to heal before they could put in dentures.
Nate was devastated by the cost and how unattainable it felt. Nate was overwhelmed with the thought of having to live life with no teeth.
Then the pandemic hit and mask requirements were implemented. Though the pain and thought of being without teeth was always there. Having to wear a mask gave Nate the freedom and confidence to speak freely, smile while playing with his daughter without the embarrassment he once faced. But with receiving his first vaccination and the possibility of the mask mandate being lifted the thought once again is boldly in front of him, the mask was a comfort he never realized .
Sunday while watching TV a commercial came on for ClearChoice dental implant center. They showed people with Nate’s story and "you get to walk out with a whole new teeth the same day!"! This is what we have been praying for! We made an appointment and had a consultation today 4/15 and he is candidate for a full mouth restoration.
We do not have all the money that is required. We will take out a loan for some of it but there is still more to pay. We paid $1,000 today for his comprehensive prosthodontics evaluation which is scheduled for April 28, 21. On that appointment the remaining $6,000 will be due. This is a lot of money but the heartache and pain Nate feels by not being able to live his best life is worth it.
Nate's company is moving at the end of the year and he will need to start over at a new company. Nate is smart, experienced, reliable, and is an assets to any company but without teeth his confidence is limited to stand and sell himself.
We need your help!! Nate is too embarrassed to show a current photo but hoping he will share when he’s ready.
I know that many have more pressing problems and this may seem unnecessary but for Nate it will change his life for the better.
Thanks for reading and if you can help we would be so ever grateful!!!!
