Case Description
Hello, I thank the doctor that replied to my question, and I want to get a second opinion. Please write a tel. number or a name so to be able to find you. thanks Georgia
Hello, 5 months ago I did a root canal on tooth #7 and soon I would have to do an oral surgery (apicoectomy). I would not need a filing or anything else, only the surgery on the gum. The estimates I am getting are around #1,000. My dentist said should not cost more than #500 (to his opinion - his is not doing oral surgeries). Can someone give me an estimate? Also, I trust my dentist but this root canal that failed make me think that I should take a second opinion. How much that will cost? How much will cost a general consultation (with the current x-rays) since I have more dental work to do in 2008? Thanks, Georgia

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.

Hi Georgia,Much like your current dentist, I do not do oral surgery and would refer you to an oral sugreon that we work closely with. So I cannot give you an estimate.If you would like to set up a consultation appointment with me, and if surgery is needed, I would give you a referral. The cost of an exam with me is $100.If you would like to reserve time, please contact Scott at 617-868-4046 and he would be happy to assist you.Thanks for your email.
