you may need to settle for dentures (partials). if your credits good almost all dentists have Care Credit, which basically allows you to pay on your dental bills. do they want it all up front or immediately after? if not then maybe you can just pay alittle out of each pay check on them. they can’t sue you as long as you do try and pay alittle. you should also look into dental insurance, although dental implants aren’t generally covered because their usually more for cosmetic reasons.
go to a dental school, depending on the state you live in, some states only have 1, while bigger states have several. but alot of dental schools will reduce the cost on anything they do to you just for going to them, mainly because your contributing your dental health for their students education.
Get dentures.
You can get good dental work done in eastern Europe for a fraction of the cost in the US. I’ve heard of places in Hungary and Romania that are of high quality. Look them up on the Internet.
But check them out first because maybe not all of them are great. But I’ve heard of people getting very good work done there.
The downside is you won’t have follow-up treatment if things go wrong…
I believe you can also get very good work done in places like Munich etc.
Also you get a vacation in Europe while you’re at it.
How is your credit? Would it be possible for you to take out a loan from the bank for this? Have you checked with the local school of dentistry in your area? They offer dental care at a reduced price with the same quality of work. Also, where do you live? Here in the USA many Americans travel over to Mexico for medical procedures/dentistry because it’s a fraction of the price you’d pay here. Though I believe they are trying to pass a law on putting an end to that…if that haven’t already. Call around in the area you live and ask about getting help. I wish you all the best. I feel for your situation.

1 implant only 600 EUR
Implants are very expensive, go for a partial denture, or see if they can do a bridge. Or if you really want the implants, see if their is a Dental College in your area, that will do them cheaper.
Sorry to hear that. that’s quite bit of money you need to shell out.
As others have suggested dentures are a cheaper alternative you can go for.
If the missing teeth are not right at the front of your mouth then you could wait till you can raise some money, maybe?
talk to your dentist and try to work out a plan so you can pay back in smaller amounts over a longer period of time.
As some others have said Dental Schools are also another good option you can explore. They offer quality work at affordable prices. Only thing is they should accept you into their program as a patient.
Don’t lose heart. It’s not an emergency situation. You can gradually work this out.
And you can may be travel to another city/country which offers the same dental implant procedure at a fraction of the cost?
Dental implants costs do vary from city to city, country to country, from the coast to coast.
