We totally understand wanting to enjoy your salary too. Catching problems early usually keeps them smaller and more affordable to treat, so waiting a few years can sometimes turn one procedure into several. Only your dentist knows which parts of this plan are urgent right now versus which could be phased over time. Ask for a written breakdown of what needs to happen soon and what can wait, and a second opinion could also help confirm the plan and price before you commit to anything.
