Dr. Gabe hopes to finish his work with Weiss in early 2021. The entire process start-to-finish would’ve cost about $80,000 but since Rosenthal donated his dental services for free, the money from the GoFundMe is said to be going towards other expenses.
“(It’s) allowed Shaun to use the GoFundMe funds to pay rent at his sober-living as well as buy some groceries,” Gallagher wrote an update. “He’s even got an inexpensive laptop so he can access the Internet.”
Dental implants can cost up to $4000 per tooth although that's the high range so $80k for dental is not unreasonable. Of course they could've gotten a pair of low end dentures for less than $5k like they give low-income people made out of plastic, but those only are good for 5-7 years and the dentist got a ton of good PR out of the deal.
