Looking for judgement free, affordable extraction/denture work.

Posting on my side account due to my own shame.

Basically the short version of the story is that I’m in my 30s and I’ve had a lifelong battle struggling with my oral hygiene for a lot of reasons I won’t go into. But basically my teeth are in really really bad shape. Like rotting out of my face bad shape. I’ve been fighting a losing, expensive battle to repair the broken ones, to try and have a semblance of a mouth, but due to my mental issues, even though I’ve been trying really hard in the last couple years, they’re too far gone. And I’ve had enough damage very recently that I just… I think it’s time.

Anyway, I’m looking for recommendations for a place that I can go for a consultation for potentially extracting most/all of my teeth and taking the plunge to dentures. I’m not insured right now but I will be back on dental in a few months and if I can get a consult in before enrollment starts next month, it might allow me to pick a plan that will possibly be able to work with me.

The local branch of Affordable Denture & Implants in WB looks promising with good reviews and I plan to schedule a consult but I would like to hear if anyone has experience there or elsewhere.

I know it’s going to be expensive especially if I start treatment before I’m back on insurance, but it’s also expensive to keep getting crowns and root canals and extractions and I just can’t do it anymore.

The biggest issue is that I don’t/can’t drive, so the closer to WB, the better. I can and do use the bus system as well as having a support network who is willing to help in times of need, so if the most affordable and kind option is a little further away, I wil still consider.

Please save your hateful comments. Or post them anyway, I don’t really care, you can’t make me feel any more shame than I already do and since this is my side account I’ll only get notifications later when I come back to check anyway losers /s
