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.

Cost Estimate: $$2000 - $8000
one doesn''''t put veneers on loose teeth: you''''d end up with veneers over loose teeth. Without looking at them first, I''''d guess they need to come out. Impossible to say without looking at them, but you''''re probably a candidate for crowns over implants, the cost being around eight grand. If not this, then the next best option is fixed partial dentures (bridges) which cost around six thousand. Last choice to replace missing teeth is a removable partial denture (partial for short) coming in at two thousand dollars.

Hope this helps!

You really need to see a dentist [me?] for an exam (and x-rays if you don''''t already have them available to review) to determine what the best treatment plan is.

Good luck!

Goodmorning.,

I understand that must be somewhat disturbing. A partial is the cheapest option, but really not the best option. As they are somewhat uncomfortable for most people, and it is removable, and many people do not like this idea. I personally am not that fond of them for patients as in my 25 years of practicing, I have heard most patients complain about them. Implants are a great option, but somewhat more expensive than a partial. With the crowns this runs about $3200 per tooth. The partial is about $1500. Another option would be to put a very temporary "flipper" type appliance in place of the baby teeth for about $250 and decide later as to your options. hope this helps.
