Sliding scale or reduced cost dental implants?

I have spent a lifetime paying big bucks to preserve horrible teeth and now I believe my teeth are not going to last much longer. Everytime I go in for work, (last three problems) I am told that the problem cannot be fixed and the tooth comes out.





I would love to have them all removed on my own terms instead of crisis by crisis, but I am only 37 and the prospect of dentures at my age is horribly depressing. I LOVE the idea of dental implants. False teeth that are installed.





I live in East Texas. My insurance plan, I'm sure doesn't cover this, as it is regarded as cosmetic. I have heard that a person who knows how to do this...can do so with a minimum of expense to him/herself. The supplies are dirt cheap but the knowhow is expensive. I CAN'T afford the full cost of this to be done. And I think it would be rather selfish of a dentist not to donate some expertise now and again.





Does anyone know any dental schools or really sweet people that know how to do this in my area?

If you can do some research or calling around to different dental offices or go on the American Dental Associaton, you may find a Dentist that has just completed his training in implant surgery,and has his Certification in Dental implants, and he may want to use you as his first case, and charge you mabye a minimum fee,Just call a office, they maby not do it, but may know a dentist that is in implant training and pass the word on with your name and number, asle you may be able to post it on a dental website,(or the American Dental Associaton )in your state, I believe they are like 1000 per tooth, they can do 2 implants and ancor your denture into your gums,(back tooth area on both sides)
Reply:You can typically get good rates at a teaching dental school without compromise of care. Though the setback can be time, you have the opportunity to be under the care of specialists and budding specialists making your care worthwhile and affordable. Report It

Reply:Implants are too expensive. Get used to dentures.
