Case Description
I don't know where to begin. Failure of a dentist to properly install braces has left a gap that was supposed to be made wide enough to install an implant too narrow; jaw surgery gone bad, resulted in broken jaw; when the dentist took off the braces, he pulled so hard on bottom front teeth they loosened and he had to bind them in the back with "glue"; when I had braces installed, I had root canals without crowns, they did braces without taking that into consideration; zoom whitening done and the dentist couldn't remove the product, she had to drill it off; I need a root canal; receding gums..obvious gum disease. Many more problems. I DO NOT WANT TO LOST MY TEETH AFTER ALL OF THE WORK I'VE HAD DONE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I HAD BRACED INSTALLED AT THE AGE OF 62. I LIVE IN RENO, I WILL GO TO SACRAMENTO. WHO CAN HELP ME? I have insurance.

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.
