Case Description
i was diagnosed with lupus 8 years ago. since then my teeth have just deteriated. i lost my four front bottom teeth, i have partial that is about 7 years old. i lost my front four teeth and am wearing a temporary partial that is about 5 years old. the rest of my top teeth need to come out asap. i have wasted thousands of dollars over the years on my teeth on procedures the dentist say will work but dont. ( 2 partials that never fit ) i have seen a couple dentist in the last year who tell me they can do wonders for my smile and then they hand me a huge estimate. i do have medicaid and medicare insurance presently. i can afford a small down payment and monthly payments. i am single and going to be 40 years old in the spring, i could really use a new smile to make me feel more confident about myself. i just want a dentist that is honest and knowledgible. is there a dentist out there that wants to take on a good case.

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.

If you have Medicaid then you should be eligible for extractions and dentures as an adult. My advice is find a Medicaid dentist in your area and arrange to have immediate dentures made. After 6 months to a year of healing then you can have a custom set of dentures made with the best materials. If your want the dentures to function almost as good as the teeth you had before they went bad you could consider implants to anchor them down.Any questions, please call our office for a compementary consultation. However, I am not a Medicaid provider.John Dobry DDS586-286-0790
