Case Description
Hello- I am 27 years old and had a complete and total extraction last year. My dentist now reccomends that I have a bone reduction surgery to get dentures to fit in my mouth. I just would like something to fit, and am very scared about having another surgery. Can there be another option?

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.

Have you considered dental implants? If not, you may want to avoid reducing the bone, until you get a consultation. The extra bone may be of value. I am happy to see you and help.
