I applied for the Grant and was accepted. Went to the Dentist that was recommened for "mandatory pre-work". Spent over $1,500 of pre work to qualify for the grant. Total work the Dentist wanted to do was an astonishing $20,000 for partial dentures! After chasing the Cosmetic Dentistry Grant Organization, namely Paula Velasco, for 6 months, I finally get an answer! I get $3,000 towards the work! The $3,000 will be sent directly to the dentist only when I have spent $17,000 of my own money!!!!!!!! I've had second and third opinions on the very same work, generally costs $9,000 ...... Dentists affiliated with this organization and grossly overcharging, so the grant money means nothing, just a draw to get you to that grossly overpaid dentist who is giving Cosmetic Dentistry Grant Org a huge kickback ......... NO REAL GRANT MONEY ....... just a back and forth shell game to make you think you're getting help !
Shame on you Paula Velasco and the owner of this phoney organization Lola!

- This same thing happened to me!! This is a complete scam. I hope someone is reading this and you stay away. It is only a partial grant and they will only pay a very small amount. You have to come out of the pocket with about $15,000 at least. The dentist they chose for me did horrible work. Once you to talk to Paula Velasco 1 time you are never able to get in touch with her again. You have to pay your own money upfront to the dentist. I called and emailed Paula several times. The one time I talked to her she LIED. She told me that all of the cosmetic work would be taken care of by the grant and I just had to pay for teeth cleaning, etc. LIES!!
