Case Description
My mother has been hospitalized since July 4th of this year. The nurses in the emergency room took her dentures out - this is the first time they have been out in at least 31 years. They tried to put her old ones back in, but they do not fit. (They have always been uncomfortable for her - she has never been able to close her mouth). She is extremely fearful of doctors and dentists (my mom hadn't been to see a doctor in 26 years). She will be in the hospital for quite a while because she needs to get radiation treatment for advanced skin cancer. How do we go about getting her fitted for new dentures and how much do they cost? Thank you.

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.
