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.

Dear Patient,I understand your situation. The good news is that there are many techniques to make dental treatment more comfortable, including several types of sedation. In addition, to help make treatment more affordable, many offices provide interest free payment plans, such as Care Credit . Another option would be to have treatment completed at a dental school, such as University of Illinois at Chicago, or Southern Illinois University. The first step you must take is to make an appointment at either a dental office or dental school. With treatment you will feel better about your smile and be healthier.Sincerely,Dr. Anasinski
