Dental surgery
Donation protected
Udate: February 2024. I need to have my remaining top pulled ASAP and have some kind of replacement so I can leave my house again.
Update: Since this was stated, I have lost all of my bottom teeth with no replacement. I am happy for the donations that helped to pay for extractions. I need to have the remaining top pulled and don’t want to live without a replacement for the top.
First of all this is really hard for me. Those of you that know me, know how private and independent I am.
So here goes.
This is my story.
After years of working to save my teeth, I have been informed by my dentist and oral surgeon that all of my top teeth need to be removed and replaced with a dental implant bridge. After a major anxiety attack and crying for a week, I met with the oral surgeon and found out what the cost would be.
The plan would be to do this in a couple of steps. The first step would be removing some teeth and getting bone graph injections which will cost about $3000. The next step is to remove the remaining upper teeth and be fitted with the implants for the bridge. This will cost about $20,000.
I have dental insurance but it only covers $1000 a year. I will be able to get some small help from my family.
So this has led me here. I am asking for help. I know times are hard for everybody but if anybody can spare a donation to help me get this done I would be very grateful.
If this can be completed I envision a much better life for myself. I will be much healthier. I will be able to spend time with my friends and family and continue to be involved in my nieces lives. And how great it would be to bite into a giant cheeseburger again.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any support I can get. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
