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.

We can help you w/ that. If all of your teeth are very loose and there have been more spacing between the teeth through the years, most likely you have severe gum disease. In that case it would be easier to have them all extracted and place a temporary denture w/ the intention in mind in the future for something permanent and better like implants. This permanent fix can be when you have your job again and have insurance but in the meantime, you will be out of pain and have new teeth. The denture teeth looks very nice 99% of the time. Pt. is usually happier and can smile and eat again. Let us know if we can help you.

The best suggestion I can give you would be to contact the dental school and see if you would meet their criteria. This would be your best bet for high quality care with a low cost.
