is there any way to get free or affordable dental? as in replacements/implants?

i spent 8 years in a bad place, without any dental care and now i'm paying the price for it. i need major dental work... implants/bridge work. does anyone out there have any advice? I know it's a long shot.. it's just that i'm barely making it as it is..

Free? Probably not. I know in my city, there's a low cost clinic for people who can't afford dental work. But, they only deal with cavities, tooth removal, and root canals. Emergency work. No cosmetic stuff like implants, bridges, or crowns. Your best bet is if you live near a university with a dental program, go there. They are real cheap and will do good work because the students are learning but always under the supervision of an actual dentist. I looked into buying dental insurance for myself but it isn't worth it. All the loopholes in there and what you can use per year isn't that much. It seems like how the world is going. Even if you get dental insurance through your work, it might not cover everything. And dentists are really expensive. And we tend to ignore our teeth.
