Case Description
I am an 29/f who has a molar that has a 10-year old filling on it. The molar broke on the side of it so I was told I need a crown.
However, I had 2 molar crowns last year that do not fit properly because of my crossbite. I had to go back to the dentist and fix the problems several. I am looking for a dentist who specializes in crowns that will fit properly when I bite.
Thank you.

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.

Thank you for your email! You indicated that you are interested in finding out more about the procedures we offer to help correct your cross bite. The Internet can do a lot, but without the benefit of seeing you in person it is difficult to determine the time, cost and treatment options for you. The best option and our recommended approach is to have a consultation with Dr. Field. Then we can prepare a detailed, customized treatment plan for you. The fee for a New Patient Exam is $114. This includes a comprehensive exam by Dr. Field and consultation. Please give us a call if you have any other questions or if youd like to schedule an appointment. After one visit, were confident that you will see the difference in our practice and decide this is the place for perfecting your smile.Janna BusalacchiOffice managerPeninsula Center of Cosmetic Dentistry650-948-5524www.pccd.net
