Case Description
At the age of 47, I recently lost my upper front tooth (8) which then caused the one next to it (7) to lean over into the empty space causing it to become very loose and soon it too will fall out, and subsequently the tooth on the other side of my remaining front tooth (10) has become loose and has also fallen out (note: #12 is missing also). I am guessing the remaining front tooth (9) will need to be removed and I will need to be fitted for dentures or a partial. Can you give me a rough idea what kind of procedures this will require and the cost. I am currently going to school and I do not have insurance and will need to come up with the money out of pocket. Can anybody work with me on this?

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.
