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.

Hello,

I am responding to your inquiry. It sounds to me that there is some difficulty with prosthetic aspect of your treatment plan. In this case a prosthodontist would be very helpful. An oral surgeon would be helpful if you are planning to have certain teeth extracted and replaced with dental implants. The overall cost efficiency depends on the exact nature of the treatment plan and your desires. I can be of more assistance if I reviewed your xrays and did an examination.

I hope this is helpful

Dr. Kazemi

You should consider implants. Bridges will cause you to lose more teeth. It is difficult to comment on your case with the information you have provided. We do not do free work, however you have peaked my interest. I will offer you a complimentry consultation.
