Help make me smile again...

Hi everyone. My name is Matty. Some of you know me personally, but a lot of you don't. What I think everyone knows is that I'm the life of the party. I'm fun, funny, and love to make people smile. Unfortunately, my smile has been taken away from me.
In the process of fixing some minor imperfections with my teeth (with some simple veneers), my dentist at the time decided implants were the way to go to address two missing teeth I had at the time as well. Well, he did them incorrectly, as well as filing down my teeth for the veneers, which they claimed were made of the finest porcelain; only to have them shatter within days of the procedure. After two years of back and forth with them, I've had enough.
I recently went to another dentist to have them fix the damage the first dentist did, and I was told there was absolutely nothing that he could do due to the extensive poor work done to my mouth. The only option I have available to me, since my teeth have been filed too small for veneers to stick, is to have all of my teeth pulled and have two "arch restorations" to fix the bone and then a full mouth implant. While the procedure costs upward of $60K, I'm only asking for as much support as you're willing to help with.
I know this is a longshot, but I miss my smile. I miss being able to laugh at jokes without covering my mouth. I miss taking photos and not looking miserable because I won't show my teeth publicly. I miss being able to speak to people and not think about whether or not they're staring at my mouth. Thank you for your time!
