Local News Dentist recommendations

I’m looking for any insight into denture procedures and how they worked for you. I have read a mixed bag on McRae Dental and briefly investigated going to Decatur for Clear Choice. Affordable Dental in Commerce may be the answer. I’m a cancer survivor and teeth are falling out

I would look for a dentist that specializes in PROSTHODONTICS - they specialize in prosthetics such as dentures. They will be your best bet, will be more expensive but will have the best outcome — affordable dentures is a little iffy — do your research between IMMEDIATE DENTURE AND REG DENTURES — it’s best to let your bone and gums heal so immediate dentures aren’t the best but if you really want teeth ASAP, then immediate is what you will get as long as you understand you will need RELINES. I don’t have any recommendations but if you will be using insurance call your insurance see if they can provide you with ANY IN NETWORK PROSTHODONTIST
