Case Description
Im a 46 yr old woman with Metlife Insurance with a $3000 yearly limit. I have had a bad past visit when I was injected with novocaine, side of my face turned purple and swelled up with pain. Even though I have insurance I let my teeth go due to this bad visit and now Im in awful pain since almost all my teeth has broken off at the gumline now. Im looking for a dentist who will take out all my teeth and replace them with dentures. I wont lie but Im still very scared of dentist. Oral surgery is covered under my major medical blue cross blue shield PPO so this doesnt take from my dental plan. Can anyone help a chicken like me?

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.

Hello,I''''m very sorry for what have happened to you in the past. I would recommend that you go through full mouth extraction under sedation. So that you can go through the procedure painlessly. I work with oral surgeon who does sedation. We can place immediate denture for your right after extraction, so you won''''t suffer without teeth. Feel free to ask any question if you have. We will help you maximize your insurance benefit and we also offer financing to help patients with the care that they need. Wish you all the bestZhaomin Huang DMD MSwww.alohadental.com
