Case Description
I am looking for a dentist or oral surgeon to look at my top left and bottom left wisdom teeth, both of which are starting to come through the gums. They are causing slight discomfort during the course of the day, and some pain when I chew. I would like to make an appointment to see if they need to be removed, and would also like an estimate of how much the procedure would cost. My wisdom teeth on the right side of my mouth have not started to come in yet.

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.
