I have lost a tooth and feel humiliated every time I smile. What do i do if I can’t afford a dental implant, but am desperate to get one?

Alexa,
It’s good that you’re looking at getting a dental implant. It’s the tooth replacement procedures that will actually help you retain your jawbone. With other procedures, such as dentures, your jaw bone begins to degrade.
I know they can be expensive, but an affordable dentist, like Dr. Peck, there are ways to get affordable dental care, even for dental implant procedures.
There are payment plans available from most dentists, through care credit. They have low and even no-interest payment plans. Another option is to get mini implants. These are more affordable and can help you jaw bone stay in place while you save up for there stronger counterparts.
