ok..first.. don't call 1 800 dentist!!! trust me.. I manage a dental practice! and we use 1 800 dentist!!! (we pay over $1650 per month to have patients reffered to us)...you tell them you want a Dr. thet takes payment plans, and they will just give you any random Dr. in the area that may not accept payment plans ..not many Dr.s use the service because its so damn expensive that most of the time its not worth it... look in your local paper and find a dentist that advertises w/ a coupon or offers a free consultation.... ( those are the ones that won't charge you your first born just to get your buisness )  Don't know how your credit is, but if its not the greatest, find a Dr. in the area that accepts "in office payment plans" and not just financing ( that is usually through a financing company)

I dont live in Memphis,Tn.  But where I live there is a college with  dental students who provide dental care to the public for a very low fee. Try checking out your local colleges.

I don't know about free, but contact your local health dept and ask them if they have a dental program . Most of them have free clinics for children in school, for low income families and have siding scale fees available too. For adults, they might have one that you could pay as little as 10% of the fee. So, if the bill would be $100 you would pay $10. That is the way they work here in the eastern part of the state anyway. Good Luck.

if i was you.. I would check into a new insurance.. Delta dental is GREAT. Im 24 yrs old..I am having  impressions made for my partial plate... then when it comes in in 7-10 days I am having 6 top teeth pulled.. with Delta that is only costing me like 400.00\nDelta covers 80% of all dental work done.. also has some free yearly checkups..\nIt covers 50% of false teeth cost \nI TOO AM SCARED TO DEATH AND THOUGHT ABOUT BEING PUT TO SLEEP TO HAVE IT ALL DONE..ITS HARD.. BUT SOME TIMES YOU JUST have to suck it up and be an adult.. I have decided its much better to have pretty teeth and you will love the way you feel and look afterwords\nGood luck man!

Usually you can contact the local colleges..unless there is an actual dental school around you.  I live in Ohio, and we can go to OSU medical to the dentist.  I know a lot of people who do and say it's much cheaper!  Good luck!

In northeast Ohio they cost @ $800-1000.  Definitely get a good referral from someone you trust or has had this kind of work done.  Ask the dentist you choose to see before and after pictures of other patients.  Many dentists have these kind of books.  It is true that your natural teeth are shaped and once you have a veneer placed you will always need to have a veneer or crown on the tooth.  You should consider the cost of eventual replacement.  They definitely can improve your smile and look beautiful if done correctly.  I would get an opinion of an orthodontist before deciding though.  Try and be very clear as to what you dislike about your smile now.  It may be that with braces and possibly bleaching, simple bonding, or even some "reshaping" of your teeth you may be very happy.  Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hey Jewel,\nI am a dentist and if a person pays for the service in full on the same day I render it I will give them an 8% discount (Only 4% with a credit card as I have to pay the 3-4% for credit cards used in my office).  I don't do this for insurance patients because I have to collect the insurance payment directly from the insurance company and that takes a couple of weeks so I don't receive payment the same day.  One person suggested Care Credit for financing treatment and that it a great suggestion. I don't work with Care Credit but I work with the Dental Fee Plan through Capital One which is very similar and I'm sure your dentist has some institution he or she works with- just ask them.  I don't consider it tacky when a patient asks for a discount as long as they do it tactfully.  Just say something like "Do you have a discount for cash patients?"  Believe me cash patients are my favorite patients. Insurance companies are a pain in the butt to deal with and I have to take a discount when working with them, so I sure don't mind to do it for my cash paying patients. BUT...I DON'T GIVE THEM A CASH DISOUNT UNLESS THEY ASK FOR IT.\nDr. R.

Load of crap!!! And we sell them!!\nBetter invest in a Sonicare or Oral-B Sonic brush!!\nIt never fails to surprise me what drivel some "hygienists" say on this website. It's no wonder Nebula D was derogatory towards them. I'll not bother except I'll say that it's scientifically proven that a sonic-type toothbrush will clean somewhat in the interdental spaces whereas a rotary one will not - which is after all the area most likely affected by periodontal disease.

There is a number called 1-800-Dentist - it can help you find a good dentist in your area and tell you if a dentist has had problems in the past w/ patients, malpractice suits, etc.  Also, I would start calling different dentists in your town or surrounding towns and tell them some of your story...  ask them if they are willing to take on a charity case.  I was a dental asst. and we did this a few times a year to lend a helping hand in our community.  HTH & GL to you!

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nYou might also check into:\nhttp://www.prosper.com

Always get a second opinion. They are out to make money. I saw a dentist and he said I had 5 cavaties!!! I went to another and had only one small cavity. They will rip you off!!! Also, who in the heck needs a $100 toothbrush? Go buy a sonic care one at Target or Wal-Mart. They are the best. Take action and let them know that you are going elsewhere.

Of course you can use the yellow pages or use 1-800-dentist... but I would not suggest it because the dentist pays for the ad and you have no way of knowing if they are a good dentist.  I would suggest getting recommendations from friends, family members and coworkers.

You can search for providers at: http://www.virginiapremier.com/home/search/providerSearch.jsp\n\nIt does not look like they provide dental insurance, so you would most likely need to pay for a dentist on your own and get a referral for surgery. There are orthodontic surgeons listed, you could start there.
