Affordable payment plans to restore my smile?

Q. Dear Dr Riten Patel,
I have the lowest self confidence due to extensive dental work since the age of 8, I am just completing the latest dental health repair, including 2 root fillings, 2 extractions, 1 inlay and 2 small fillings. I now have 3 gaps to the back of my mouth, noticeable white fillings to two front areas and 5/6 amalgum fillings. Most teeth with the exception of the bottom 6 and to 4 have been repaired in some way. My father’s dental health awareness was very poor, he had dentures by the age of 28. Is there a loan or easy payment plan I could take with a trusted cosmetic dentist to help restore self confidence and rebuild a nice smile as I have only just gained the confidence to attend the dentist regularly. I totally realise the state of my teeth could have been avoided. Each day I think of my work, my family and my teeth (not always in that order !) , I feel so sad and very very scared much of the time that I wont be able to afford to take care of myself as the local dentists do not offer payment plans. Your help, if you can offer any, will be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
T.S

A. Dear T.S.,
Please do not despair there are many ways to make cosmetic dentistry affordable, it is no longer only available to the rich and famous. It sounds like you have had a really tough time but you are not the only one I see so many people who come to my office with the same worries and fears you have. It is actually one of the most rewarding parts of my job to give someone back their smile see their confidence restored.
Cosmetic dentistry can be financed and staged (spread out) in a number of ways. At our our practice we offer 0% finance for between 6 -48 months. If you have a monthly budget you can put towards your teeth there is generally some wonderful options available.
I hope this helps
Dr Riten Patel BDS
