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.

It is hard to say what I can do for you if the work is almost complete, and I have not even examined you...If you would like to call me at 617 566 4420, I would be more than happy to at least discuss it with you.

Hello, If you don''''t need the root canals, it is actually a better thing for you as the root canal teeth are actually weaker. In the long run, root canal teeth will dry up and eventually they will break, the studies are showing between 15 to 20 years. However, if your teeth are lack of tooth structure and root canals were planned because of need for a post to help to hold the bridge in, that''''s a whole different sitiuation. You might have been better off with implants for the missing teeth. I am not trying to confuse you but if you have lack of healthy tooth structure and yoy are relying on these teeth to hold the bridge in, it is a prescription for failure. If he/she is not doing the root canal, they should not be charging you. I hope this helps.
