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.

Hello,Sounds like you are familiar with dental terms, good for you!Many teeth can be repaired, but occasionally it makes more sense to remove a tooth. Many factors affect that decision, including the condition of the neighboring teeth, the fit and balance of the bite of the lower teeth, overall gum health, etc.It''''''''s hard to steer you in the right direction without more info. Feel free to contact me if you need help.Dr. Scott Greenhalgh

Unfortunately, I think most dentist would need more information to give you an accurate asessment. Remaining tooth structure, extent of break down, health of gums, health of the nerve canal, etc, all will effect the diagnosis of the two teeth and well as any recommended treatment. Please let me know if you have any questions.Good luck!
