I don’t know what to do. I need to have six teeth replaced, but I can’t afford dental implants. My dentist says it is really the only option because they’re all next to each other and I’d lose too much bone. Do you have any advice?<\/p>\n

Sam,<\/p>\n

I don’t like it when dentists say something is your only option. While it is true that dental implants are the ideal treatment, they’re certainly not the only option. \u00a0First, I would look for an affordable dentist<\/a>. Don’t confuse affordable with cheap. \u00a0Sometimes the cheapest option is the worst, becaust their skills and quality of materials aren’t very good. An affordable dentist will work with you in several of these ways:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0They will give you ALL your options. Not just the ideal one.<\/p>\n

2. They will generally have payment plans including low and no -interest options.<\/p>\n

3. They will let you do phased treatment. For instance, you can’t afford six dental implants<\/a>, but what if you can afford one dental implant. Then your dentist could place temporary fake teeth on the other teeth until you could save up for more implants.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps.<\/p>\n
