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.

Cost is a certainly a concern if you''''re looking at comprehensive dentistry. Getting an estimate w/o a set of new X-rays, a proper exam, and complete treatment planning is nearly impossible. I would suggest first finding an office with whom you are comfortable and starting w/ an exam and X-rays, which might run about $200-300. Then, your dentist can review the options and give you ballpark figures for any scenarios you might consider.

HelloPlease do not get dentures unless the dentist you choose can not offer you any other option. Dentures are a last resort. Many patients think it will get them the look they want and will be a lot cheaper in the long run. Although this is true, once the teeth are out, you can not put them back except with implants. Patients with Dentures would do anything they could to get a second chance at life with their own teeth. Without x rays and seeing your mouth, no one can really give you an estimate that is remotely accurate. What I can tell you, is that a full mouth reconstruction is expensive. Patients have compared it to buying a new car and so worth it. Depending on your case and your mouth, often a full mouth reconstruction can be done in parts so not have to have the entire expense at one time. It really depends on the patient and the case.An exam and full mouth xrays of entire mouth cost a total of about $168. This would be a good start, that way you could learn your options. In the state of VA, not sure about DC. The patient owns the xrays. So if you ask for a copy the dentist needs to give it to you.This way you could take your x rays with you to get other opinions.Good Luck Dr Lupi Roca www.arlingtonsmilecenter.com

Be happy to take a look and give you a diagnosis, treatment options and corresponding costs. There is no way to even begin to estimate te costs for what you are describing. It could be $5K to 60K depending on what you need and how you decide to treat your case.

You said it. Who knows..... A comprehesive oral exam, diagnosis and treatment plan is first indicated. Yours options will vary depending on cost, time, as well the health and condition of your oral cavity.
