Case Description
I need to find an oral sur. to remove my daughters wisdom teeth. I was told they are bony removals and that she could get tumors in there. I can only afford to make payments after my ins pays. The dentist I took her to charged me $75.00 to tell me that my daughter had to have them out and the cost would be $1676.00 up front. My daughter has another med condition to where I can't put this off. I will pay but I need ins. charged first and I need to be able to make payments.

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.
