Hello,\n\n     Congratulations for your new life. I understand that the costs are astronomical, but so many people are ready to have it done that it might be difficult to find a place where they make it for "cheap".\n\n      You know, dental implants are often considered as the best solution, but other good and cheaper solutions exist. Explore these! For example, a well-fitted partial denture can restore a smile satisfactorily in a majority of patients.\n\nI know that it is possible to get surgery done for "cheap" in some countries... It's common for plastic surgery and it's increasingly popular for dental treatments. People doing it put their health at risk, since the treatments are often done in countries where the standards of care are lower than in the "Western World". And even though you get somebody competent, the follow-up can be impossible  if you have problems... And good luck to find a dentist in D.C. willing to work with a "butched" surgery. U.S. and Canada have among the highest standards or dental practice in the world. Don't forget it!

If you have no insurance and are low on money then I suggest you contact the dental school nearest you.  The students always need patients to work on... they do good work and they are well supervised.  Another option is to contact your local health department.  Many health departments in the U.S. now have dental clinics.

Go to a couple websites and ask some of the members there:\n\nwww.crowncouncil.com\nwww.plannedmarketing.com\nwww.bootkamp.com\n\nThese dentists care more about their profession and their patients and people entering this profession than I can begin to impress upon you.

There are always risks with any type of medical treatment.  There is a risk everytime you get an injection to numb an area of your mouth.  If you need to replace a tooth or teeth then implants are the best route to take.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3679313.stm\n\nNew teeth 'could soon be grown'\n \nLiving teeth are better for gums than false ones \nTechnology to grow replacement teeth could mean the end of dentures. \nScientists at King's College London have been awarded £500,000 to help them develop human teeth from stem cells. \n\nThe company Odontis, set up by the college, hopes to develop its research for tests on humans within two years after successful research on mice. \n\nStem cells, the so-called master cells, would be programmed to develop into teeth and then transplanted into the patient's jaw where the gap is. \n\nIt is thought it would then take two months for the tooth to fully develop. \n\nHealthy gums \n\nBut it could be five years before the technology is widely available to the general public. \n\nOn average Britons aged over 50 lose around 12 teeth out of 32. \n\nProfessor Paul Sharpe is the genetic research scientist behind the technique and head of division of Craniofacial Biology and Biomaterials at the Dental Institute at King's College. \n\nHe said: "A key advantage of our technology is that a living tooth can preserve the health of the surrounding tissues much better than artificial prosthesis. \n\n"Teeth are living, and they are able to respond to a person's bite. \n\n"They move and in doing so they maintain the health of the surrounding gums and teeth." \n\nThe cost should not be more than the price of synthetic implants of between £1,500 - £2,000. \n\nHis project has been awarded £300,000 from the Wellcome Trust, £100,000 from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (Nesta) and £100,000 from a business sponsor. \n\nA spokesman for the British Dental Association (BDA) said: "The BDA welcomes projects like Odontis and looks forward to seeing further progress in this field." \n\nhttp://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/05/03/teeth.replace/\n\nhttp://forums.stangnet.com/archive/index.php/t-517536.html

You can try any or all of the following:\n\n1.  Get a part-time job to help with expenses;\n2.  Go to the drug company's website and research their patient assistance programs---you might qualify;\n3.  Visit your local free clinic and ask about any programs that can help.\n4.  Check with your local chapter of the American Diabetes Association.  I'm sure they can refer you.\n\nGood luck!

You could call the ADA - American Dental Association for a reference or call your regular general Dentist and get his recommendation

I'm always surprised that people who don't have a dime to spend on a dentist, even when they have a dental emergency, will find dimes to spend on coffee, cigarettes, Itunes, clothes, or other things they want.\n\nThere are free or reduced cost community clinics to care for low-income people. They aren't very nice places, but they do minimum treatment and will take care of emergencies.\n\nMost of the free clinics in my area cater to disadvantaged children who are poor through no fault of their own.
