Your teeth, gums, and oral health are very serious.
Don't let a volume-oriented dental service try to push you into treatments that are profitable for them, but not really needed. Seeing dental patients as cash cows is a common reality in some dental practices that are heavily advertised.
Sometimes the treatments these clinics are pressuring people into getting can do more harm than good. The wrong dental procedure can be difficult or impossible to undo and fix.
Many of my Peoria, IL patients have dental problems but worry about how to afford treatment. And sometimes those treatments recommended by a dental chain or clinic may not be the best way to deal with an issue.
We accept a variety of payment options and offer monthly payment programs through CareCredit.
In some cases, the expensive treatment you thought you needed may not really be necessary.
For example, instead of pulling teeth and replacing them with bridges, implants, or dentures, it may be possible to save that tooth and preserve it as a functioning part of your chewing apparatus. That is the preferred approach, save instead of pull, whenever possible.
So these and other issues are important to consider. There are many dental services and fly-by-night clinics who are not as professional as they should be. Some are trying to lure people in to make a lot of money off each patient, recommending extreme treatments and unnecessary procedures.
Get a 2nd and 3rd opinion when it comes to major dental work.
Call me anytime you have a question.

I love meeting new patients, including the tragic cases of those who had bad experiences from unprofessional dentists.
I'm anxious to give good advice to patients who are seeking a competent and experienced dentist.
