Case Description
My mom had a swollen cheek due infection. Docs advised us to do a root canal or extract as it has ~50% bone mass. Since she has ~6 lower jar tooth like to save it what would be good dentist office to visit with no-insurance trying to signup with carington plan (any better ones?). I got one estimate its still a lot! (~1k) any suggestions/help appreciated!. She also need partial dentures. Around south part of the valley.

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.

Cost Estimate: $500-615
a root canal in our practice on tooth #27 is going to be $615 alone, but we could do it for as little as $500 including the filling to close the access hole (which is made in the back of the tooth for the root canal) after senior citizen and cash discount. if you would like, she could come in for a complimentary consultation to verify the treatment needed which would include any needed x-rays. If she has only six lower teeth remaining, I could see how she would want to save it if at all possible. call and ask to speak with ronda or ada 480-218-8800. you can also visit our website for directions www.docwallin.com and learn a bit about our practice first if you wish.I hope this helps!
