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.

Hi there,I am sorry to hear about all the dental pain you have had to deal with over the years. I would agree by looking at the pictures that in general your teeth are in a pretty good shape ( but would need to see xrays to confirm that). I did notice significant amount of enamel wear which could be one of the reasons for your continued discomfort. As far as you bite, has anyone discussed Invisalign ( invisible braces)? Just looking at the photos, it would appear that Invisalign might help you improve your bite and alignment. It might not give you perfectoin, but certainly great improvement. With Invisalign you would be able to avoid brackets and wires which significantly reduces your risk of developing decay and/or peridontal issues during orthodontic treatment. I would be happy to see you for a complimentary consultation to confirm my initial assesment. Hope this helps.Sincerely, Dr.T

Dear 1982OKThanks for all the detailed photos you sent. I wish everyone did that! You definitely have some crowding issues - but I have treated patients who have even more crowding than you have and we have achieved great results - without orthodontics.To get a better idea we would need to do some more diagnostics. I''''m sure you''''ve been through a lot already - but a good baseline is the best place to start. We cannot treat what we cannot diagnose.Please give our office a call when you get a chance - 602.954.8200 - we will go over all the options with you. You may be right - you may not need orthodontics.The Biltmore Dental Center Team

From what you describe, it sounds like you need aomprehensive work up and evaluation of all teeth. Pain is the main concern and esthetics second. The crowding can be taken care of either by orthodontic movement or difiitive restorations. If you would like to have a specialist in restorative dentistry give you an opinion , call my office and set up an appointment for an exam and diagnostic workup. I look forward to meeting you.
