I recently left a domestic abuse situation. The last time he knocked out all my front teeth.  I have no money, because I had to leave with just the clothes on my back. I need to get a job, but nobody is going to hire me without teeth. I know I need dental implants, but right now I’m living in a shelter and can’t even afford an apartment.  Is there an affordable way to get dental implants?

Miranda,

I’m very sorry for what you’ve been through. At the same time, I’m releived you found the fortitude to leave. You can click on my affordable dental implants page to learn about the ways you can get dental implants more affordably.

However, you’re a unique case. I’d like for you to look into the Give Back a Smile program. It is a charity, specifically designed for domestic abuse patients.  Cosmetic dentists donate the time and materials to help people in your situation get back their smile. Let me know if you have trouble locating the information.
