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.

I would recommend finding a dentist near you who does sedation dentistry. It sounds like you need a fair amount of work done and have been avoiding the dentist out of fear. Sedation dentistry has been great for my apprehensive patients. They can have all their dentistry done worry-free and usually in fewer appointments. My practice is in Vernon Hills (Lake County, IL) so unless you want to make the drive I am not the dentist for you. Call the American Dental Society for Anesthesia and ask for the name of a sedation dentist in your area.The number is 877-255-3742. For people who need more work done than they can pay for there are interest free payment plans available (care credit).
