broken bridge, nowhere to go. Please help

[lost_fiver]

So I'm new not only to this site, but forums in general so please forgive my lack of knowledge. I had a bridge on teeth numbers 6-11, with anchor teeth on 6,7,8, and 11 with false on 9 and 10. The work was done mostly pro bono with me just paying the lab fees by my dental assistant best friend's dentist. He pulled 9 and 10, grinded down 6,7,8, and 11 and gave me a temp. Unfortunately while he was ordering the permanant my friend and him got into an argument, he was fired and I was left out in the cold. As generous as his work was, I was left with a pretty messed up upper pallet. I've been living off temps for a couple years and it just isn't cutting it and I may not have the insurance longer to keep getting this done. I am only 27 and I work in retail. I don't want to think of the option of pulling those anchor teeth and looking like a crack addict. I'm terrified and have lost sleep over this. I was wondering if anyone knows of what the cost would be if I paid for permanents myself. Most of the work is done but I don't know how all this works and if ANYONE has any advice they could give me on this situation I would GREATLY appreciate it. I live in the phoenix area of arizona if anyone knows of somewhere I could go. Thank you very much for your time.

You may also want to contact your local dental society to see what services are available in your local area.  A temporary isn't meant to be on for a long duration of time and the anchor teeth need to be evaluated to make sure there's no cavities on them which could cause future problems with the new permanent bridge.

Try a local dental college. They offer low-cost clinics.
