I have multiple problems with my teeth. I am going to West Virginia University Dental School for my dental treatment. I am seeing a Graduate Prosthodontics student. He graduated as a dentist in 2012. He has given me 5 different Treatment Plans ranging in estimated price from a low of approximately $11,500 to a high of $33,000. My DH thinks that I should go with the All-on-Four plan. It is an implant supported fixed prostheses for upper and lower. I would have 6 implants on the upper and 4 on the lower. I am very nervous about this procedure, because it requires that my remaining 22 teeth would need to be pulled. It is expensive and what if something goes wrong. Would appreciate your feedback, especially, if you had it done or know someone who has had it done or what your opinion is if you are a dentist.
I am leaning more toward another treatment plan, which requires crown removal of 6 crowns, root canal treatment on 5 teeth, 4 posts, 2 teeth extractions, 5 crowns, 3 lower fixed bridges, anterior implants and an implant in upper right for an estimated price of $26,000. I would not have as good of esthetics as I would have with the All-on-Four plan.
I have never had good teeth. I brush twice a day, floss every night and use a Prevident Booster Plus, a prescription flouride toothpaste. I have gone to the dentist for twice a year cleanings since my early 30's at least and have gone 4 times per year since approximately 2010.
