Is near any dental insurance that covers implant within the U.S.?
I am 57 and have always have poor teeth. For years I was a single mom and could not afford dental care so in a minute my teeth are really bad. I took a loan from my 403(b) seven years ago and got two MAJOR bridges (4 tooth and 5 tooth) on the top. Two months ago, the crown on the tooth subsequent to one of these bridges ( on one of the front four teeth on top) broke...and the remaining tooth has too little left to do a buildup...so the crown can not be glue back on. I do not want a removable tooth in the front here...so, I should hold an implant...but, the dentist I went to insisted on checking out my entire mouth a bit than just doing this one implant. He have given me optional treatments for the top and bottom of my mouth ranging from a low of $15,500 to a illustrious of $38,000 for this work. Wouldn't it be nice if I had the money to do this?
I've considered going to Mexico or some other country where it would be smaller amount expensive to have the work done...but, this extensive work would have to be done over a year and a partly to two years....it's not just a "one-time" appointment sort of thing.
I want to obtain a "second opinion"....but, I DO have dental insurance that will cover a portion of the cost for new bridges, crowns or prosthetics if some or adjectives of this is necessary and it's really difficult to find another dentist nearby that accept my same insurance...plus...implants are NOT covered on the insurance I now hold at all.
Any and all direction is welcome. Thanks.

Well , I grain a good dentist SHOULD check out your entire mouht even if you just come contained by for one specific problem. That does not mean you have to do adjectives the treatment he recommends, but while it may seem approaching he is jjust trying to make money off of you, it is a right idea to really get a moral picture as to what is going on completely in your entire mouth, because #1 it may effect anything they end up doing within that one area, and #2 even if you cant afford it you should at least know of any issues that you own.
Unfortunately, dentistry is really expensive, but you could try one of the financing companies that are just for dental/medical purposes. Other than that maybe your work could be broken up into stages and the Dr. may be capable of work with you that way, but it would depend on exactly what you necessitate to have done.

GE MONEY BANK CREDIT CARD. I sighed up for it and all though i don't own prob w/ my card, i did w/ the dentist office i chose. ALLCARE DENTAL. w/ this card you can make monthly payments. they also hold listings in your area that you can choose from to turn get a 2cd opinion.
There are some dental insurance that covers implants. Metlife will cover implant up to $1100.00 per year so they cover about 65% of the cost.
I'm sure all employer dental plans would cover implant but most companies don't want to include that coverage. They would rather provide preventative care and minor work resembling crowns, bridges, etc.
From your question it sounds like you're trying to find a supplemental plan to cover implant. They probably don't exist or if they do they're probably expensive and don't cover the full amount.
From what you describe of your problem the bridge could probably be fixed by having the bad tooth replaced near an implant post to secure the bridge. It may require another post on the conflicting side.
You should look for a dentist who will fix what you have and will accept the certainty that you don't have a lot of money.
See if you can find a dental referral service within your area and talk to them. They may know how to point you to a dentist who specializes in that type of work.
Good Luck.
I have two missing teeth and a crooked tooth inbetween the two. I hold a tooth that is lodged within my bone which make me an ineligible candidate for implants. The cost that I be quoted though if I were able to hold it done was $10,000.
My options be the bridge or a partial. I opted to get the removable partial until I can afford the bridge. This route, I'm not walking around with low self esteem, and feeling self conscious.
I know that you said you didn't want the partial but I don`t know you should consider them temporarily.
