Case Description
I am seeking help from a dentist who can make me smile again. I wake up everyday depressed knowing that I have to look in the mirror and see my broken, missing, decayed teeth. I have a genetic disorder which runs in my family. My teeth are so soft and they are breaking left and right. I am a single mother who's credit was distroyed through my divorce. I am unable to get a loan to fix my teeth. I do have insurance however it is not enough to cover the cost of fixing my teeth. I have searched high and low for a dentist that could find it in their heart to assist me. To date I have had no luck. I have written talk shows host with hopes of their assistance. No response. I was told that the few teeth on top are to be removed and a full denture plate is needed. I am scared because I am 39 yrs old and was told later in life my gums would deteroriate (bones) and dentures will not fit. My dream is to have veneers/implants but the cost is too high. My cousin had it done and she looks awesome. If only I too could look and feel as a woman again. Please I am praying for someone to help me. I am so ashamed and embarassed to attend my son's school and sporting events, date, no friends or social life, etc. I go shopping either late at night or early in the morning so I don't run into old friends and collegues. I hope that there is someone out there that can help me. God Bless you! Tina S.

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.
