Affordable Implants

Hi
I read your posting on dental1 forums about a dental college in Chicago that might be able to assist people in need of dental implants. Can you provide me with the name of that school and any additional contact info. I am 49 and have terrible teeth. I have dental insurance, but it does not pay for implants & I don't believe that my mind can handle the reality of dentures! Sad...anyway, other than my teeth, I'm not a bad looking older gal -unfortunately the whole dental delima keeps me from feeling that I'm really grabbing the brass ring in life. I currently live in Reno, NV, but am more than willing to move to Chicago if that's what it takes!
I appreciate any additional info that you can share with me
Thanks,
Wendy

Hi, Thanks so much for writing to me! I was starting to feel like I was ALL ALONE ~ This has been one of the most DEPRESSING times of my recovery. I guess I thought that recovery would mean....Putting it behind me ~ That's so hard to do when everyday is a constant reminder of what you've done to yourself. My Eating Disorder is my only regret in my life ~ I had actually stopped talking about it until this. I almost feel the need to explain why I've lost my teeth at my age. How old are you? I only ask because you mentioned your parents were upset. I just wish that someone in the DENTAL field could see the absolute need to help people like us. We lost our teeth not through blatant disregard ~ but more from illness and an inability to see the future. NO ONE EVER TALKED ABOUT LOSING THEIR TEETH DUE TO ABSTINENCE OF FOOD ~ Most talked about losing the enamel from vomiting! I did that too, but laxatives were a BIG part of my problem (90 daily) so I NEVER thought of this as my future. Well, I hope that someone can help me to make the 2nd half of my life better than the 1st. I'll write to your e-mail if that's ok. Thanks again for writing to me.

Hi, I have been ALL OVER the internet looking for anything I can find about DENTAL IMPLANTS and the COSTS associated with them. I am a 45 year old recovering ANOREXIC ( been in recovery for 7 yrs and 2 months) I was an active anorexic for 18 years. I was in recovery for 11 months when I found out that I was pregnant with my son ~ he's now 5 1/2 years old. The LEGACY of my anorexia is the loss of ALL my teeth(October 5,2005) and Cardiomyopathy. I look and feel so old. I can't even bear to see myself in the mirror. I went from being someone who was out ALL the time to someone who NEVER goes out anymore. I'm missing out in so many ways with my son yet, I can't bear for people to see me looking like this. The DENTURES LOOK ABSOLUTELY FAKE ~ I CAN'T EAT WITH THEM IN ~ I CAN'T DRINK WITH THEM IN ~ IF I WEAR THEM FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME I FEEL NAUSEOUS ~ ALL I DO IS CRY REGRETTING MY PAST ~ I Need to find a dentist who can and would be willing to work with me, so that DENTAL IMPLANTS can be within my reach. I missed out on so much during my anorexia I don't want to miss out on the rest of my life. If any DENTIST out there would be willing to help me ~ I would be so greatful ~ Please, contact me. Thank You in advance for any and all of your help!

Hoping for a second chance,
