I am 58 years old and in November my front bridge upper came out. I wanted to die. The feeling was devastating like someone died. I have been depressed ever since. Life changing event for me. I am having a lot of trouble dealing with it. Dentist made me a temp I have had since day I lost front teeth. He felt bad for me I walked in crying my heart out. I was upset and felt "old". I have two teeth on on each side left on my upper that have to come out. Then I will have no teeth. I have 3 cracked teeth on top that has to be taken out also. Roots are still in there. They quoted me (my insurance is crap only $1,000 a year) Regular dentures around 5,000. Dental Implants around $16,000 and total implants around $27000 . I am having trouble getting the money. I am in debt and was in debt before this happened and we were trying to pay our debt down (it is very high, trust me) Now, if I want the best which is implants, I have to come up with 27000 or at least 16 for dental implants. Right now, looks like I have to were dentures until I can get the money to get the implants. I can't sleep at night thinking about the teeth being pulled and the pain and the stories on here about the bruising, I am getting panic attacks and keep cancelling my dentist appointments. I don't know what I should do. I have an IRA Roth but can't touch and really, I didn't want to, but can't take out without a penalty until I am 59 1/2 .. Whatever you can do to cheer me up, it would be appreciated. Down on myself too much everyday affecting my work and my home.
