Case Description
I was recently for a check up my insurance covers upto 1000 yearly and the estimate I received for two root canals and crowns is for about 6-7000 out of pocket. I dont know if this is avarage but I dont have this kind of money I do not feel I am getting the best response because I would like to what work can get done next year because that is when I get more money available through my plan. I can travel within the chicago area.

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.

Your estimate is probably on the higher side, by 10-15% or so (its hard to say exactly unless I get to see you and some x-rays). My office can work with your situation, and take care of your most immediate needs, and give you a treatment plan that works best to meet your health needs. If you have x-rays, bring them in or mail them to me, and we can set up a time to chat (save you the trip). Ideally, you should call my cell at 312 545 6063 or my office at 708 425 1811 to set up an appoitment.

Hello,The quote is a little bit at the high end. I am not able to give you an exact quote because I do not know what exact situation you have. Certainly, you can maximize the insurance benefit by doing some work this year and wait to finish the rest of work next year. First of all, you have to make sure the most urgent problem is dealt with first. Also, you can check into zero interest financing which is available in lots of offices. Hope this help.Welcome any questions.Zhaomin Huang, DMD MS
