i went to the doctors because my previous doctor pulled out the tooth that is aside from my front tooth(the one next to the pair of front teeth). after that, my gum started swelling. it was about a month and a half after i took it out. now, i dont trust my dentist anymore. what do you think happened?
also, i tried a new dentist to get ome braces and consultation. he told me that i needed to get implants which cost about $2000. does this sound about right? also, he said that i need to get braces to align my tooth first, and then get the implant.
please help.. i hope that i can trust this new dentist of mine.
Braces/implants/bridges?
I think it sounds about right to me. When my brother had to take his tooth out from his gums (it was stuck or something) he had to get braces first. They'll probably just prep the tooth by spacing your teeth apart, and then pull them back together with your implant. And besides, why not want perfect teeth? I got my braces off a month ago and my teeth are stunnign!
Reply:$2000 sounds about right
Reply:$2000 includes what, exactly?
Implants are usually composed of phases: the initial placement of the titanium receptacle in the bone tissue, an attachment piece, and a finishing crown to replace the tooth.
If the total is $2000, you've got a bargain. Check your local dental society or board of health. They should have records if your doctor has had complaints or negative judgments.
Contrary to what many people think, most dentists are NOT out to rip you off or steal your money. They make a fine living off doing legit dental work and the consequences of charging for unnecessary dental work isn't worth it.
If you really want to know about the "new" dentist, ask if you can talk to a patient who got one of his implants. He should be able to put you in contact with one or more satisfied people.
