Case Description
Is it worth it to go through a full mouth reconstruction or would it be better to just do dentures? Every single one of my teeth needs to be replaced, but I am deathly afraid of going through root canals every trip to the dentist (as I did when I got my front four replaced) and I don't have insurance at the moment to cover a FMDR, but I'm still young, so I've at least got time, but it's getting more and more painful as I wait.

But are dentures a viable, even though not desirable, option?

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.

Cost Estimate: $40K-50K
I would definately not want to extract all of my teeth for dentures. That should be the last resort.

Full mouth rehab is an investment. Patients pay about 40K-50K total. Although insurance would help pay something, plans normally have a cap maximum payout per year.

How do you know that all of your teeth needs to be replaced? Have you had a consultation recently?

Dr. Loveless has done an abundant number of full mouth cases. He is a very conservative dentist who will save natural tooth structure when possible. He is very gentle and caring.

I would like to invite you in for a free consultation. Please give me a call and let me know when you would like to come in. You can also email me your availability. I will look forward to speaking with you soon!
