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.

Hi,

You''''ve contacted the right dentist for this situation! Lost likely the bridge you have will need to be extended to at least 1 additional tooth to the left and right. Rarely is it a good idea to do a bridge supported by teeth 7 and 10 alone. The adjacent canines must be in good condition, with good bone support too.

2 HUGE points to make. First, you MUST choose a dentist who is very confident handling these cases. Second, you MUST not choose the cheaper way out of this situation...you''''ll pay for it later in many unpleasant ways!

I have a great relationship with the best implant surgeon in the greater Charlotte area. He places the implants, and I restore them with crowns, bridges, etc.

Unfortunately it''''s impossible to give you even a ballpark estimate without seeing you first, because I have no idea about the condition of the rest of your teeth. I''''d be happy to see you for a no cost, no obligation visit.

Please call us at 704-337-8070 to schedule, and we''''ll set it up for you. I look forward to meeting you.

All my best,

Dr. Chris Bowman
