Case Description
Due to a large family size (5 children) and no employer funded dental insurance my teeth have been deteriorating, or sacrificed, for years in order to provide for the dental needs of the children and spouse. I'm now 62 years old, unemployed, with no dependents, but have dental insurance for now (Dental Blue Select).
I'm looking for a local dentist who understands that I'm too old to be scolded and need help with the teeth I have remaining. I'm missing at least 3 crowns; missing filling (cavity remains); wisdom teeth caused distorted lower front teeth positions. My smile is very unsightly - stained and distorted, therefore I keep my mouth shut as much as possible. I'm not looking for wonders such as a wonderful smile, but would like to have some of my dental issues fixed. Please offer me some direction. Thanks, Paul

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.
