Case Description
I have a lower front tooth that has become a snaggle tooth because of a small mouth and crowding. I had my bottom right wisdom tooth removed because of the crowding but my left was never removed because it is underneath the bone and will never emerge. When i had visited an Orthodontist 2 years ago she said it was best to extract it. But having missed appointments and never being able to get another with her that didn't have me waiting 4-6 weeks for another appointment I just never went back. Now the tooth is bothering me and would like a second opinion to removing it. I do not have insurance any longer but do have a steady job.

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,What it sounds like from your description there could be few ways to go and braces might solve the crowding without the extraction. When you come in for an evaluation we would be able to go over all the different options without you.We would certainly have no problems accommodating you in a very efficient manner. Bellow are some appointments available the next few weeks:Monday April 7th: 9:45 amThursday April 10th: 12:15Monday April 14th : 3pmIf none of those works we would be able to work out a time that is convenient for both of us.There is usually a $125 consultation fee; due to the promotion we are running in the month of April the consultation would be free.Please call us at the office to schedule at appointment.
