Two left teeth \u2013 incisor and canine are missing. I found a new dentist two months ago who would not listen to me and was disrespectful about the condition of my mouth. I asked about cosmetic treatment, and she recommended a partial denture. I do not want a partial denture, and I asked her to explain my options. The dentist said that a partial denture is the least expensive way to fix my teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neglecting my oral health over the years had nothing to do with money. I decided to switch dentists. My appointment was two weeks ago, and again, this dentist recommended a partial denture and told me that an implant is another option, but it is out of the ballpark for me. I am insulted. Although I am not wealthy, I work and can budget to pay for dental care. How can I find a dentist willing to save my teeth and respect me and my preferences? \u2013 Thank you. Toya from Dallas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toya,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dentists do not want to try to save teeth. It is easier to extract them and offer a partial denture. An implant is a better option than a partial denture. If you want dental implants, find a dentist with advanced implant training or who partners with an oral surgeon for implant surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a mixture of chipped and discolored teeth, a dentist with advanced cosmetic dentistry training can use a combination of treatments to restore them. But a dentist who is not comfortable with cosmetic dentistry might direct you to a quick solution\u2014a partial denture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding a Dentist to Restore Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find a dentist to save and restore your teeth by researching two or three dentists and scheduling consultations with them.
