Case Description
I have the HumanaDental insurance plan. I have a list of 93 plan dentists. I currently have a dentist, but he does not prefer the latest technology. (He's a bit old fashioned, and willing to admit it.) And he has no financing options. I would like to find a dentist that 1. Is on my plan. 2. Has financing options. (I can easily afford payments, but not several thousand $ at once.) 3. Is kind and won't berate me for having failing teeth. (Previously uninsured for many years.) 4. Uses up-to-date technology in dentistry. I need several teeth removed and upper and lower plates made. Thank you!

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.
