Case Description
I am 24 and have had a tooth that has been painful while drinking or eating cold things for quite a while. I can now see what looks to me like a crack. My dentist always tries to upsell me like I am in a beauty parlor. The tooth is one in the front and my parents have spent a lot of money on braces so that I can have a nice smile. I am wondering what the best option for fixing it would be that looks the best. I also do not want to do anything that is unnecessary. Can anyone help? I work for Hillsborough County schools and have comp benefits.

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.
