Has anyone found an affordable way to get dental implants?
So please no judgement because I’m already struggling with my self worth and this has me so down. But has anyone found a way to get affordable implants? I would need my whole mouth done. I grew up in a family of drug addicts. My dad literally talked his doctor into do unnecessary surgeries on me like having my gallbladder out and a stomach wrap for acid reflux at 15. I had IBS. I didn’t need it. He was just that addicted to pain pills. I had a cyst rupture on my ovary one day and the hospital wrote me a script for Vicodin and he threw it away and took me to his doctor and said it was for Percocet and he lost it. Everyone around me was on pain pills and it was just a natural thing for me. I was a full blown addict by 17. And that eventually led to harder drugs that ruined my teeth. I’ve never felt good about myself ever. I grew up getting called fat and ugly and that still til this day resonates with me. The your not good enough, no one is going to live you. I hate that this is how I am. I got sober 7 years ago and I want to be better for my kids. I don’t want to hate myself anymore. I don’t want to feel not good enough anymore. I don’t want to feel unlovable anymore. This thing with my teeth really has me suicidal some days. I’ve been trying my best to keep what’s left of my real teeth because the thought of just dentures seems awful to me. I’m 34 I want to live a normal life. I want to be better. I’m sorry for the long cry baby post. I would greatly appreciate any advice. I live in the US and I’m definitely lower income but I’m willing to do whatever I possibly can to make it happen. I just need some affordable ideas. Thank you.
