Case Description

I am in desperate need of an affordable solution to my current dental woes. I have two badly decayed teeth that have needed root canals for some time now. They cause me pain every minute of the day and I am unable to eat food as the teeth are in the back of my mouth. I also have two impacted wisdom teeth that have been slowly pushing all of my teeth together. The pain comes and goes in waves for these things. I would really love some adivce on who to see, who would actually do the procedures, and who costs the least amount. Also what I should do in the mean time.

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: $ No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.

If the badly decayed teeth have been that way for so long, they may be beyond saving. You mention "affordable" in your request, so need to be frank with you. To save any particular tooth, it will cost anywhere from $900-$1200 for a root canal, and another $800-$1100 for a crown afterwards. Keep that in mind while making your decision(s). My office, and others, have interest-free financing options available as we realize the expenses involved - especially with the paltry benefits available via dental insurance these days. Your best option would be a dental exam by a general dentist to determine if the teeth in question are able to be saved or not. If you tell me what part of the metro area you live in, I might be able to refer you to a competent general dentist (we specialize in root canal treatment in our office).
