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 Estimate: $ No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
Retreatment is possible if appropriate (meaning there is no tooth fracture or large infection, or periodontal disease). If so, I recommend an endodontist (Recommend Dr. Sasan Jafari in Rockville tel: 301 984-3636; He is very good). If not treatable, then extraction is the only option and I can assist you with that as I am an oral surgeon.I hope this is helpfulDr. Kazemihkazemi@facialart.com
