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 – Cost-Conscious Plan | Low cost and addresses immediate needs. | May not address all dental problems and can potentially lead to more costs in the long run. | $5,000 – $10,000 |
| 2 – Cost-Conscious Upgraded Plan | Includes more comprehensive treatments while still being cost-conscious. | May still not address all dental issues. | $10,000 – $15,000 |
| 3 – Moderately Comprehensive Plan | Addresses most dental issues and provides a more long-term solution. | Costlier than the cost-conscious options. | $15,000 – $20,000 |
| 4 – Ideal Plan | Addresses all dental issues and provides the best long-term solution. | Most expensive option. | $20,000 – $30,000 |
| 5 – Aggressive Reset Plan | Provides a complete reset of oral health. | Most aggressive and expensive option. | $30,000 – $40,000 |

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
- Disease control — scaling and root planing, extractions if needed, and temporary restorations.
Phase II
- Diagnostics — grafting if needed, ortho work if needed, and implant placement.
Phase III
- Definitive Restorations — crowning of teeth, prosthetics, and smile design.
Phase IV
- Maintenance — hygiene, recall, nightguard, and remission of disease.
