Dental work, what to do?????

I have had some recent dental work done, trying to avoid gum surgery. My dentist wants to bridge a couple of my teeth and put veneers on in order to prevent reoccurring problems and to prevent my spaces between my teeth from making my teeth shift and/or become crooked. The problem is, after insurance, my out of pocket expenses with be roughly $5000! I cannot afford this high of a bill, but I'd really like to have the work done. I dont want surgery, I dont want to let the problems return or get worse and I would love a beautiful white smile, Any advice?

I would ask what options you have other than veneers. Veneers are purely cosmetic and have no restorative benefit. They will not prevent recurring decay or new decay from developing. However, for an esthetically nice smile, it doesn't come cheap. Your out of pocket is so high because no insurance will cover anything cosmetic. Sorry!
