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.

Me. A general dentist that does a lot of dentures and partials is a superb choice for perfoming these procedures. As you can see from my web site www.hamptondentalassociates.com or www.wisconsinreconstructiveimplantdentist.com well made dentures or specialty dentures are gorgeous. A periodontist does gum surgery, a prosthodontist does difficult full mouth reconstructions or implants. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Richard Winter D.D.S.F.A.G.D.
