My husband is 40, and has a lot of decay from a troubled childhood. He recently went to the dentist and was told that he needed all new molars, and that the enamel on the rest of his teeth is pretty much gone. He was told this would cost approximately $50,000. This is for all new implants in his molars and either a bridge or veneers. He has extended dental but it doesn’t cover implants or veneers, and at best dentures. But the dentist said he needs his teeth to prevent bone loss and dentures are not the answer.

I am wondering how someone can afford this? We have 4 kids, and he cannot afford to lose all of his teeth at such a young age.

Any help or advice?
