Case Description
I have type 2 diabetes and had my four lower center teeth pulled and a partial made.However the bridge doesn't fit right and nothing holds it in place. I am afraid that I will lose it or choke on it. (I only want the front replaced if implants) I have an upper denture. I want either implants or lower denture. I need to know where, who and cost. I also have high blood pressure and no insurance. I will pay all cost myself. Which would be better full or implants

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.
