When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

You could go to a general dentist, or a prosthodontist. It would be worth the money to get a second opinion. When you do, bring your radiographs and treatment plan to make a comparison. Good luck!

It really depends upon how many teeth you are going to save. If one tooth needs a root canal, post, and a crown, the cost can be up to $1800-$2000... that''''s just for one tooth. Sometimes you have to decide what your budget is and based upon that, decide with your dentist which teeth you should save and which you should have taken out and added to your new partial dentures.

Also, dental insurance can be very deceiving, usually you''''ll have an anual maximum of $1000-$2000, With an extensive treatment plan like yours, you will exceed your maximum and the remaining balance is out of pocket. We''''d be happy to see you and give you a second opinion.
