Hi name is Kelly and I’m fundraising for my Amazing friend Casey. Casey started the dental work in 2014- needed some work and went to Aspen. She was told she needed her bottom teeth pulled, she did that but ended up with a partial- come to find out later she only needed fillings after another dentist looked at the previous X-rays. Round two she had to have her bottom partial redone 4 times and still to this day it doesn’t fit her right, and is not functional. Round three brought her for annual cleanings with a new dentist closer to her home who she thought was going to help her. She ended up needing a crown on her front tooth so she did that and paid out of network (1600). She got home and while she was flossing, the crown breaks at the root causing her to now need an implant or go toothless. (Anyone who knows her knows she loves to smile and laugh) This dentist couldn’t do implants and she was sent to another facility. She found an in network (to cut costs) dentist near her place of work who gives her an implant and then proceeds to charge her three times for the same implant which she ended up paying for x3. Fast forward two years as now she is petrified of the dentist. She sees a dentist for routine cleaning, new insurance and they tell her they can’t save her three teeth on the upper right, so they need to be pulled and replaced. She agreed as they are professionals and she end up with implants. She take the time to heal, and the dentist retires refusing to finish the work. She now has three implants unfinished that are basically useless according to the 9 consults she has had in the past year since June of 2022. She now has found a treatment plan but her insurance does not cover the procedure. She needs a bone graft, and the remaining natural teeth pulled in order to place a permanent denture. This has caused her to stop smiling and laughing and has diminished her self esteem beyond compare. She has seen over 11 dentists- each state they can help but the cost is expensive. She has dental insurance but it only covers so much.
