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.

This is impossible to answer. How many surfaces do the fillings cover (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc)? What material is best/wanted (silver amalgam, composite resin, cast gold, pressed porcelain, lab-fabricated resins ... etc)? You have good dentists on your side of town. If you need recommendations, ask several people. And by-the-way, you want recommendations of dentists who regularly locate problems (you can''''t make up problems, but they can be ignored causing possible worse problems). You also may be able to have a cleaning on coumadin, it depends on how much bleeding is expected. Ask your dentist.Lan Allen DMD
