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.

If the teeth are not too badly decayed often the bridge can be replaced. The only way to know is to remove the bridge and evaluate. Call my office today so we can set up a consult.

Good Afternoon. The number one cause of failure with a crown/bridge is decay under the permanent prosthesis. Yes, most likely it can be replaced. We would need to see your daughter to determine the extent of the decay to deterimine the best course of action. For something of this nature, we would do a limited examination and only the necessary xrays. Please let us know if we can be assistance to you.SIncerely,Troy Gombert480-899-2958
