Have you ever gotten an unbelievable bargain on a used car that turned out to be a lemon? After a couple of years of constant repairs, you realize that it ended up costing as much as a new automobile would have. And after spending all that money, you still have a clunker. If you are considering a smile makeover, meet with David Rice DDS first.
The same is true of deficient dental work. You have probably received sleek postcard ads that publicize amazing deals on cosmetic dentistry: porcelain veneers, crowns, white fillings, and dental implants. The prices may be tempting, but make sure you do plenty of research before committing. We aren’t trying to imply that all dental practices that advertise low procedure prices in their ads provide substandard work—we are just cautioning patients not to elect a cosmetic dentist based on price alone. Unlike an automobile, you can’t sell your smile and buy a new one.
We will use porcelain veneers as an example. What can go awry if you receive substandard porcelain veneers?
The dentist may be inexperienced and make mistakes: improper placement, dissatisfactory color matching, bite complications. The materials may be deficient: unnatural color, prone to breaking, veneers pop off. The lab techs that create the restorations may turn out inferior work: unnatural color, and poor fit.
During your consultation, you will learn about Dr. Rice’s years of experience, techniques, specialty training, and the number of procedures performed. You will learn about the most appropriate materials for the restorations and receive specifics about the dental lab we use. We can also provide references if requested. And, of course, we will talk about how much each treatment will cost.
We believe that you will find that our prices are competitive for the superb dentistry Dr. Rice performs.
Don’t endanger your smile in an attempt to save some money. You really do get what you pay for.
