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.

No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
Depending on how many teeth your friend has remaining will determine the cost for his/her extractions. This is in addition to a denture. Dentures will run approximately $6,000 to $7,000 for an "immediate" (placed at the time of extractions) and a permanent denture (made approximately 6-8 weeks after the extractions and healing). This is for a traditional denture. We highly recommend placing at least two implants on the lower jaw to help stabilize the denture. Otherwise, it moves around and this can be disconcerting to the patient. The implant also helps improve "biting" function. Dentures are not nearly as effective as your teeth in biting and chewing. I would recommend your friend look at a consult to see what are their specific requirements and options. Please feel free to contact us.
