Try and find a dentist that will do regular dentures - far and few between - they're all implant happy and you have to fight for something that will not be pegged or implanted in your head...just went through this with my husband.

You simply say "I can't afford that.You'll have to do something else." Believe me - they are doing this for the money - if you can't pay for it they will do something else.

@LilacTree  I am so happy you were able to get the work done on your teeth.  I also have a lot of teeth issues ( just had a molar pulled last week.) nothing is much worse than a tooth ache and infection🙁. Yes, having good credit is so important in an emergency.

 I have dental insurance....but for the BIG  stuff, dental insurance does not cover too much....and implants not at all.  I know  will need implants in the future.  At $5000 a pop, I am not looking forward to them.....

Try one of the online dental discount plans.  You might find one that a dentist in your area also subscribes to.  I believe it is still 1dental.com or Careington 500 series that will give you a list of dentists in your area.  Google will take you there.  Some of the discounts can be as high as 60%.  You do have to pay cash upfront for these plans, or if you qualify, you can get a Care Credit loan for 0% for various lengths of time.
