Case Description
Hello,

I recently went to the dentist due to a sensitve back molar. I thought I had a cavity. The dentist did full dental x-rays and an exam.

I have several broken fillings in my back lower molars. One of these has decayed to the point a crown will be required. Also on the x-rays they saw that one of my front lower teeth, which I didn't even know was a problem, has an abcess at the root but no visible decay whatsoever.

The estimate for my treatment was well over $5,000. My dental insurance will only cover $1500 for the entire year. I now have $1300 worth of coverage left for the remainder of the year after the x-rays and exam.

Unfortunately, I do not have good enough credit to qualify for one of the credit based payment plans via care credit, chase healthcare, etc. I cannot afford to pay the nearly $4000 portion of this out of pocket and the dentist does not offer an in house payment plan.

I had lasik surgery done two years ago and since I did not qualify for Care Credit was able to do an in-house plan and paid it off within twelve months. This is not an option with the dentist I saw.

I need to find someone who can fix my broken fillings and repair the abcess in my front tooth and can offer me a financial arrangement.

Thank You!

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.
