Help Replace Vivian's Tooth

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Vivian. I'm disabled and don't have much of an income to speak of other than SSDI. This year, a tooth that was damaged and repaired by my dentist completely broke off at the root, likely because I grind my teeth in my sleep. Unfortunately, state insurance doesn't cover this kind of restorative work so I followed my dentist's referral to an oral surgeon to get the tooth repaired. I was told I should expect something in the range of $1500, which would be difficult to pay for but manageable. However, after my exam, I was told that in total, the surgery would be $6250, paid in 3 installments of $400, $4069, and $1816 respectively. They don't offer financing, and Care Credit requires repayment in 12 months, which is still beyond what I make from disability in a year. So as it stands, covering this is entirely out of reach for me. I'd like to get an implant because it's the most permanent solution and poses the least risk due to my teeth grinding. Getting this done would help boost my self-esteem since I feel self-conscious as the missing tooth is one of my front teeth and reduce the risk of infection since the tooth's root is exposed and could degrade with normal tooth decay. I would really appreciate any assistance you could provide in this matter as my only alternative is to go without. Thank you for your time and consideration. Even if you can't afford to donate, sharing the link is appreciated.
