Hello, I'm Miller! I'm a 36-year-old father of two living in Humboldt County, California. I’ve had bad teeth my whole life. I started with very little enamel, and over the years, things have gotten worse. A few bad dental experiences didn’t help. At this point, it’s hard to eat, and even brushing can be painful. My total goal is $80,000 for full-mouth extraction and implant restoration. GoFundMe may show a smaller starting goal that increases as donations come in.

I’m trying to raise money for full dental extraction and replacement so I can finally get out of constant pain and stop feeling anxious about my smile and facial expressions. I would like to eat good food again and laugh without hiding my mouth in my hand. I’m hoping for fixed implants, but I understand I may need to do a more realistic option like snap-in dentures depending on what the doctors recommend and what I can afford. I will also need sedation for the work, and I have sleep apnea, so doing this safely matters.

This isn’t only about my smile. Living with severe dental issues puts me at risk for painful infections, and untreated dental infections can become dangerous if they spread. I’m trying to get ahead of this now so I can avoid a preventable medical emergency and get back to eating normally and living without constant pain.

Donations will go toward exams and imaging, extractions, sedation, implants or dentures, temporary teeth during healing, and the final restoration.

If you can donate, thank you. If you can’t, sharing this helps a lot too.
