Is there any help out there for a recovering addict who really wants to make life whole again but keeps getting put off because of his missing teeth it is surprising how much good teeth mean at a job interview it's hard to sell yourself if you can't smile.
Answers:
Wow, aren't you a great friend ! So many people fail to realize how important decent teeth are to having healthy self esteem. I don't know if you watch American Idol.... There was a male contestant last year named Eliot Yamen (sp) . He had an incredible voice but horrible teeth... Anyhow recently he had his teeth fixed.... I think they were donated to him ...Sorry don't know how or who donated.
Back to your friend .... here is a site ----> http://www.drbukk.com/imako/imako.html... that sells a temporary shell that makes the front/upper teeth look great ! I purchased one of these when I had a dental issue ( missing crown) and it Worked for me till I saved the 1000.00 to get my crown replaced. By know means is this a replacement for dental work .... BUT it will allow your friend to look normal and be relaxed in his job search... Perhaps he can use it till he gets a job with some dental insurance???
Another option is for you to possibly pay for your friends dental work.... Go to a clinic or local dental college and ask for the cheapest option. Perhaps make it a loan or gift to help him help himself....
Either way you are nice to care about your friend in this way ..... Good luck !
