Are You This Patient?
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.

To trfconsultingI would be happy to take out 3 teeth at time if that is your preference. However, if the plan is to get all the teeth out and do an upper and lower denture, it would be better to make the denture first, then pull all the teeth at the same time and place the denture. That way you are never without the teeth. Most people choose the path you mentioned due to cost. We have many payment options, including care credit and docpay. Care credit requires descent credit rating and docpay requires a checking account. I would suggest you come in and see me for a free exam and x-rays and lets discuss your case.I do 1-2 cases just like yours a month and they turn out great.Thanks Dr FredPS It would be worth your time to come get an opinion. You want good quality dentures that are affordable. Some dentures are cheaper but they dont last very long and fit terrible.
