Case Description
My new expensive bridge is moving although the temporary one I was given while waiting was solid. The bridge cantilevers of the canine. I am unhappy with the result, but the dentist seems to think I have to live with it. He thinks, gum graft surgery will help, because he claims the gums are not thick after flap surgery and the tooth itself is moving. He is talking about the ligament moving, in which the tooth is embedded in the jaw. I think, the bridge is pivoting around the steel post. Do you have any idea what I need to look for to make sure I have legitimate reasons for a dispute ? The bridge clicks when I move it, I am thinking that the steel post is making this sound.

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.
