Help Daniel Smile Again!
As much as I find this difficult to do, I find it is something that must be done nonetheless for my health, self-esteem, and future credibility as I continue to present proactive logical solutions and answers to encourage changes that will make our lives, our world and our future better, safer, more peaceful, productive and fun!!!
Currently, I have a major distraction that needs to be addressed asap...my teeth, or should I say the severe damage to my teeth and the need for them to be restored to allow me to properly smile again, talk, eat, and mentally think about my pro-active plans instead of my daily painful and dysfunctional teeth!
I have wondered now for some time why a person in America can get help with medical coverage, mental health coverage, etc., but very very little, if any, dental help coverage.
Poor dental health can cause a lot of problems for a proactive person like myself that's destined to be seen and heard by people all over the globe as I rally people to join me in my ambitious plans to make life better, safer, and more peaceful!
I had most of my molars and wisdom teeth pulled when I was in my 20s and for various reasons, they were never replaced. A very bad dentist recently ruined what was left of my teeth which now look and act like a mouth full of broken glass and razor blades, ruining my smile, jawline, and facial muscles while causing damage to the inside of my lips, cheek lining, and tongue while talking, chewing, etc....
I have looked into every type of available dental help program available to me, including my health plan dental coverage, and nothing has presented as being able to fully cover the costs involved with what I truly need, which now is all my current damaged teeth to be removed and replaced with hopefully snap-in dentures so I can smile again, eat again and stop feeling my damaged teeth and the pain associated with them.
The cost of full upper and lower snap-in dentures can range from $25,000 to $35,000 on average. This cost includes the cost of implants, temporary teeth, dental sedation, and removing any remaining teeth.
However, the total cost of snap-in dentures can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Bone grafting
- If there isn't enough bone in the right places, a bone graft may be required to place the implants. The cost of a bone graft can vary depending on the method used and the health of the grafting site. Synthetic bone grafts can cost between $200 and $1200 or more, while grafts that use the patient's bone can cost as much as $4,000 per graft.
- Denture material
- The material used for the dentures can impact the price. For example, partial metal dentures are more expensive than partial resin dentures.
- Number of implants
- The number of implants needed will affect the total cost.
- Follow-up appointments
- The cost of follow-up appointments may not be included in the initial price.
- Anesthesia
- The cost of IV anesthesia for the surgery may not be included in the initial price.
Snap-in dentures also require ongoing maintenance, such as professional cleaning of the implants at least once a year and replacing rubber o-rings every few months.
I honestly know that this may be a long shot, but it's a chance I am willing to take to help me raise money for my badly needed dental work!
Your donations will be 100% accounted for and will result in my ability to focus on my work which will indeed make the world better, safer, and easier to use!
