I had the worst dental appointment. \u00a0I need to have several teeth removed. \u00a0My dentist said I need to have dental implants put in, but I just can’t afford it. My dentist essentially told me that if I cared about my teeth I’d get the implants because they are the best treatment. He made me feel stupid. He also hinted that I wouldn’t look as attractive. I’ll be honest, when I got home I broke down and cried. What woman wants to be less attractive? I just can’t afford it.<\/p>\n

I’m having trouble \u00a0not getting angry at your dentist and I’ve not even met him. Let me just say to get it out before we discuss your case, that I believe he is being unethical and manipulative.<\/p>\n

I really hope, but am doubting, that your dentist gave you all your options. Yes, dental implants are the ideal solution, but they’re the only option. \u00a0The last thing your dentist should be doing is making you feel guilty about needing a more affordable dental option<\/a>. He certainly shouldn’t be making comments about your appearance.<\/p>\n

If he was any good at his job, he could make your smile beautiful no matter what procedure you chose.<\/p>\n

You could also look into dental bridges or removable partial dentures as very viable options to dental implants. If you feel like you can communicate with your dentist, I’d discuss those options with him. However, I would be more inclined to tell you to find a less manipulative dentist.<\/p>\n
