Beckie needs a partial denture to restore function and visual alignment of her bottom teeth.

Wellington

I have a long-term medical condition that has caused a number of molar teeth to disintegrate and require extraction. It has now reached the point of affecting the alignment of the rest of my teeth, my chewing and also visual gaps.

My dentist referred me to a denturist in Kilbirnie, Wellington for a partial/lower denture. This has been quoted at $3500, 50% at the next appointment, and 50% on fitting/completion. This is not something I was anticipating, and aside from the emotional aspect of having to get a partial denture, it's also very expensive.

Thank you in advance,

Beckie

Use of funds

Funds will go towards tooth mould, any teeth shaping by my dentist, fitting 3 false teeth to the denture, then construction and fitting.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
