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.

I think you have written to the wrong dentist - this is Dr. Pai and unfortunately we do not take any HMO plans

Cost Estimate: $3,500.00?
The information in your summary doesn''''t have enough info to accurately give you an estimate. I can tell you that a crown is $960 - $1,100, veneers are $1,100 each, fillings $175 - $300 If you have HMO coverage, you MUST go to dds assigned by HMO for any kind of coverage. I and any dentist will be happy to see you for cash!
