I am looking for an affordable dentist who can help me with some cosmetic teeth issues I have been battling my whole life. I have teeth in need of straightening, as well as a chipped front tooth. I consulted my family dentist, but was told the work I need done would cost over $20,000, an amount much higher than what I am able, and willing, to pay. I did inquire about less expensive options, but was made to feel like I offended the dentist. I\u2019m not looking for a total makeover, just want some teeth straightened and a chipped tooth fixed. Any advice would be great!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/span>

Dear April,<\/p>\n

Thanks for writing. First and foremost, your dentist should not have acted that way.<\/p>\n

A couple of suggestions to help:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be cautious when looking for affordable\u00a0 dentist<\/a> who does cosmetic work. This is because anyone can claim to be a cosmetic dentist. There are currently no guidelines on training or skills. Therefore sometimes dentists who have more skill\/training tend to charge more.<\/li>\n
  2. It would be a good idea for you to find a dentist with a solid reputation. Then, have a consultation and express your financial concerns upfront. This will allow the dentist to offer suggestions which include cost-effective ways to address your dental needs, yet stay within your budget.<\/li>\n
  3. Lastly, it is always a good idea to get more than one estimate. This will allow you to choose someone that is the best fit for your situation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
