Question

Kathy Frazar, DDS, FAGD · Answer

It's important to see a dentist as soon as possible so that, hopefully signs pointing to further problems can be stopped before you have to deal with more chipping or breakage. Your dentist will want to offer you options for saving a damaged tooth before pulling it. Most cosmetic dentists (double check when you book your appointment) offer free consultations and at that consultation you can explore financing options, should your dental issues not be covered by insurance or other programs. Your dentist, if you advise that there are financial concerns, will offer more that none solution (if possible) so that you can make an informed decision,even if it's to provide short term tooth repair , such as with dental bonding, while you investigate more permanent options, such as a dental crown to cover that damaged tooth.

we have many patients that come to our office that have insurance that does not cover for cosmetic fixes. Dental schools often have better pricing or in the case of our office we feel it's important that people can have a great smile for an affordable price.    We always try to find a price that people can afford .   We have programs that people can get new smiles and teeth with help of our sponsor programs for less than 400 per tooth.  Good luck .
