Case Description
I had my last cleaning about a month ago. The dentist told me that I have two teeth (lower bicuspids) that have a bad receding gum line. He suggested grafts which are very expensive and informed that my insurance (Metlife) would not cover much. Now one tooth is very dark at the gumline and the rest is turning grey. Need advise and/or recommendation for good specialist in Miami Beach area.

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.
