Case Description
I have a large and unattractive right upper canine tooth that I think ruins my entire smile. I've thought of having it pulled which I know is the worst thing to do. I was wondering what my options could be, preferably on the more affordable side (veneers I just cannot do). Looking for a kind dentist that accepts payment options and can help me out!

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.

It is no fun when there is one tooth that detracts from an entire smile. As long as the tooth is healthy, you may want to look into Invisalign clear braces which we offer. The cost is much cheaper than metal braces, they are clear, removable, can be used as whitneing trays, etc. I can''''t say enough good things about them. We prefer to move good teeth into place rather than cut them down for veneers, if we can get a result you are pleased with. Most dentists who offer Invisalign will do free consults to see if Invisalign is right for you. And most dentists have great financing options. We actually have an Invisalign open house on Friday, July 11th where you can learn more about it and also put your name in the raffle for a free plasma TV, iPod, and other prizes. Call Mindi at 480-892-1711, I think we have 1 or 2 slots still available. Best of luck. And feel free to call me with any questions about your oral health. We are all here to help. - Dr. Heap

Please give our office a call for a free consultation. Extracting teeth is always the last option - but may be necessary. You also have a great orthodontist in your area - Dr. Larrabee who can give you a consult regarding braces.Veneers are not as expensive as you may think and we do offer payment plans. Looking forward to meeting you.Sameet Koppikar, DDS
