Oral surgeons - anyone able to help? 2 years ago, I lost all my bottom teeth and most of my top teeth. I was supposed to be fitted with dentures but due to infections and other issues, my gums healed in such a way that dentures are no longer an option. I am only 39 years old but look like an 80 year old woman and I hate it.
My dentist recommended multiple surgeons that could do a few implants that could hold plates, but unfortunately, none of them will work with me on payments. I am on disability and cant afford to pay it upfront.
Are there any surgeons out there that can help me out? My insurance pays $1000 a year and care credit is not an option.
I dont know what to do. I have given up all hope and my self esteem is gone. I can no longer smile and that feeds my depression and self loathing.
Please someone help me. I'm begging.
Thank you to whomever is able to assist.

You could try Holyoke Health Center -- they're a federally qualified community health center, whose mission is to treat people that are under insured -- and I know they have oral surgeons on staff. There are lots of other FQHCs around the state, but most don't do dental, and those that do may not do oral surgery. Dunno. No idea what their payment plans are like, but give it a shot: [http://www.hhcinc.org/en/services/dental](http://www.hhcinc.org/en/services/dental)
