Dentures do not fit

Post by MrsJasnen »

I am in desperate need of dental work, I've had my dentures for 22 years, they now don't fit at all and I have constant blisters. I can't even eat with them in. Every dentist I have contacted require upfront payment of $3000 to $ 5000. I don't have this, on disability, no dental insurance. They keep suggesting I get the care credit card which I don't qualify for. Just looking for help.

Teeth extractions/new dentures. I have an infection and am an emergency case don't have enough money to get what I need done. Aspen dental quoted me 4,100 last year so in a year I had 10 teeth pulled to lower cost and got not proper fitted dentures. I just went back now they want 4,800, or 700 more than quoted last year. When I have ten less teeth. I'M SCARED MY INFECTION WILL SPREAD AND I CANT BELIEVE THEY CAN DO THAT TO NOT ONLY ME BUT TO ANYONE.

Hello,
I am in desperate need of dentures and unfortunately live on SSI as I am a disabled 43 year old white female. I'm having some difficulty finding any kind of help in Jasper, Alabama 35501. This is Walker county in Alabama. I do not have transportation so finding a ride to UAB charity dental or dental school is impossible to stand in long lines and find someone to give me a ride and then wait for me all day. The dentures I have now do not fit me. I have little resources and not having any teeth is effecting my health dangerously severe. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Admin

If the dentures do not fit, and your income is very low (on Medicaid), some states provide free dentures through the local Medicaid program. Or maybe front teeth or dentures for a job. Find details here on government free denture programs.
