Note: No treatment is always an option, just not a recommendation for cases of this complexity.
Note: The fees associated are approximate, not absolute. Actual costs will be done after specific plan is chosen. These are estimates to guide patient into best option for them and financial ability. Again, these are estimates. Once a tentative option is chosen, more exact costs will be given, as specific numbers take a considerable amount of administrative effort.
*These fees do not take into account insurance benefits. You can expect that your yearly benefit will be maximized for a case of this size. 5% bookkeeping benefit is given for any case paid in full prior to start.
Below, it’d be great if the strategies created were based off of conditions in the “Dental Conditions Problem List”. From there, the pros and cons get generated. The estimates are generated off of fee schedule of various procedures that adds as we go along.
Each strategy will have it’s own “layman’s” term with basic description beneath it.
| Strategy | Pros | Cons | Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – Improving Oral Hygiene and Regular Dental Check-ups | Low cost, Preventive care | Requires consistency and commitment | Depends on frequency of visits and required treatments |
| 2 – Orthodontic treatment | Improved function, Improved aesthetics | Time-consuming, Possible discomfort | $3,000-$7,000 |
| 3 – Dental Veneers or Bonding | Immediate improvement in smile aesthetics | May not address functional issues, Requires maintenance | $250-$2,500 per tooth |
| 4 – Comprehensive Treatment Plan (see next page) | Addresses all issues, Optimal function, Optimal aesthetics | Cost, Time | $20,000-$40,000 |
| 5 – Full Mouth Rehabilitation | Addresses all functional and aesthetic issues | Aggressive option for this situation, High cost | $30,000-$45,000 |

Phased Ideal Plan
*This is the recommended and optimal option, one that I’d recommend for my sibling, parent, or close friend. To help alleviate the daunting nature of such a plan, I have broken up the treatment into phases. Although phasing is not required, it helps to spread out the financial and time considerations. In addition, in many cases, treatment can be spread out over multiple yea rs to take advantage of multiple years of insurance coverage. The column indicated by “Time between phases” will have a time range. The first number is the minimum time needed for healing. The maximum is the maximum amount of time that can pass before compromise/issues can arise. It is also important to note that phasing any of the plans often ends up in an overall cost greater than if done all at once.
The phased plan would be laid out from the “ideal” option on the previous page. The actual plan in detail would be in response to the specific criteria/conditions that exist in response the problem/condition list.
Phase I
- Initial consultation and comprehensive oral examination
- Detailed dental cleaning and oral hygiene instructions
- Orthodontic consultation if required
Phase II
- Initiation of orthodontic treatment if required
- Continued oral hygiene maintenance
- Periodic dental check-ups
Phase III
- Completion of orthodontic treatment
- Assessment for cosmetic procedures like veneers or bonding
- Implementation of cosmetic procedures if required
Phase IV
- Regular follow-ups for maintenance and prevention of future issues
- Protective bite guard if necessary
