Please help me fulfil my dreams of getting my confidence back by fixing my smile :-D

Auckland

Hi my name is jodi, i am 23 years old and mother to 3 beautiful children. During my 2Nd pregnancy I was 38 weeks when my front tooth chipped for the first time. I was horrified and so upset, nothing like that had ever happened to me before. Over the next 2 and a bit weeks my front 2 teeth disintegrated. I couldn't afford the work needing to be done so Put it off. It has been 2 years since, and obviously has gotten worse. I'm in constant pain, I can barely eat anything, I can no longer smile in photos so avoid them all together. I hardly get out of the house, embarrassed and ashamed of the way I look. My smile makes me look Like a monster. I spiralled down into a deep depression which I've just come out of. I'm finally looking up again, and wanting to live again. Having my smile back will change my life forever! I am needing multiple extractions, fillings, and implants. Thankyou for taking the time to read my story.

New dental quote  12 September 2016

Hi guys, well have been back to the dentist to get a quote, my options have become limited unfortunately, 10 extractions, 3 of which are surgical. And a partial denture for my front 6 teeth as implants are too expensive at $6000 a tooth. And there's no support for a crown and bridge. Total work needed done equalling a whopping $5940.00!!
