Case Description
I am 26 years old and due to a bad experience 12 years ago , I have not been to a dentist since . I Really need to fix my teeth , and the idea of going to a dentist now is something I would feel comfortable with (and something I direly need).

The longer I wait , the worse everything is , and I am sure that I will need quite extensive work if not a full mouth reconstruction/makeover . Now though , as much as I would Love to be able to get the care that I need , the financial barrier is truly the only thing keeping me from doing so . Its very overwhelming and I don't have the means of affording it all at once , while there are various financing options , I do not qualify as my credit is poor . I do not have a credit card nor a co-signer .

I guess what I am curious to know is if there are any offices that might have an in-house financing arrangement ? I really need help , and I know that alot of people contact dentists with my exact situation , but if there is Any way that someone could help me I would be ever grateful .

As I know it is hard to know what kinds of treatments will be needed without an actual visit , I still don't know how I would be able to afford such treatments upfront and with full payment expected . I Would however be able to make payments (at least $300 per month or something similar to that)

I don't want to lose all of my teeth , and I constantly worry about that very thing. The effect of my dental problems has been detrimental to me for quite some time now , between the effect on my self-esteem , the embarassment and the constant pain I am in . I am sorry for such a long inquiry , but I really need help .

Thank you for your time .

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.
