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 using DR.Oogle to gain knowledge about your dental care! Loss of so many teeth due to bone infections means that there may be MORE bone lost, if the sockets are not treated well .. most likely with bone-preserving treatments... Necessary to insure the upper denture will have stability. The lower teeth should be very good to support a partial denture, or they would have a limited life. It may be very useful for you to consider the placement of implants, or to use the best roots to put snaps in for an "over denture." Everyone is different in the quality of care they need. Some people say they can perform on "Dancing with the Stars" in showers flipflops. Most people need more than that.
