Dear Carol,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’m sorry that you have had such a hard time with this tooth replacement. It is unfair of your dentist to insist on the most expensive treatment. While everyone wants the best option, sometimes our budget precludes that. What disappoints me is your dentist is ethically bound to at least make you aware of all your options, even if he won’t do them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will have more success with a dentist that understands budgetary limitations. If your dentist doesn’t look for someone who advertises as an affordable dentist<\/a>. They’ll be more willing to offer you the options that work for your pocketbook. Most are even willing to accept payment plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordable Options to a Dental Implant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I would suggest to you is a zirconia or porcelain bridge. This is a false tooth suspended between two dental crowns<\/a>. These are metal-free and won’t give you the same allergy issues that you faced with your last treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that doesn’t work for you financially, there are allso removable partial dentures. You’ll just need to make certain your dentist knows you will want metal free clasps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
