Case Description
I have not taken very good care of my teeth over the years and typically don't go to the dentist unless I'm hurting, which has resulted in several root canals and extractions over the years. I'm 53 years old. I know that I have the need for at least 4 crowns, maybe five and possiblily a root canal. I have several teeth that have had a root canal in the last year or so and I did not follow through with a crown.
I have dental insurance with Delta Dental, but it only covers $1000/year. $700 of that was spent last January for a root canal.
I would like to find a dentist that would take me as a new patient and do everything that is needed on my teeth. I have been to several dentist in Nashville for various work and have not been overly pleased with results, except of my endodontist. I will be paying for this out of pocket as the work is done and would like to find a dentist that would possibly reduce their standard fee for crowns based on the total amount of work they will be doing.

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.
