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.

Hi! Thanks for submitting your question on Doctor Oogle. I don''''t know for sure what your case will be like, or where you''''ve been, and every patient (as you know!) is so different and unique that it''''s sometimes hard to diagnose over the internet or even through email and phone how much a case is going to cost and what''''s appropriate for you. I can tell you that most of the patients that we see who need extensive work end up using up all of their dental insurance benefits VERY quickly (as you''''re discovering!). It''''s very unfortunate, but the insurance company is a business, and they definitely turn a profit, which means the premiums they''''re taking in are FAR more than the benefits they''''re paying out. There are other options though, including medical insurance billing (yes, medical will cover some dental problems) as well as outside financing if you want to speed things along. If you''''d like to talk more about what your particular case entails, I''''d be more than happy to take some time and go over all of this with you! My phone number is 303 693 1215. If you''''d like to talk some more, I''''d be happy to hear from you.Thanks!Jim Craig
