Dentist or denturists

[dunvilsteev]

Perhaps others have been through this:

English teeth and years of cola have left me in a right state. I have a partial plate for all my bottom molars which I despise and rarely wear (it feels like a hunk of hard plastic) and I have had a 4 tooth bridge on the top left side for 30 years. Lately the bridge has been getting infections regularly, although he cant see anything the dentist thinks the root may be cracked. It seems it is on its last legs.

So now I'm going to need a partial for the top, but after the bottom I wonder if going to a denturist might not be a better idea. I know the bottom was about $1200 and I had to pay $350 of it (above insurance) through the dentist.

Has anyone been to both, which is better? more economical? and better work?

 

Thanks.
