Patient Name: Keith Roy
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost-Conscious Plan | Most affordable, addresses urgent issues, reduces discomfort | May not address all issues, less durable solutions, may require further treatment in the future | $3,125–4,075 |
| Cost-Conscious Upgraded Plan | Affordable, more comprehensive than basic plan, addresses more issues | May not be as durable as higher-end options, may not address all cosmetic concerns | $4,175–5,035 |
| Moderately Comprehensive Plan | Addresses more issues, includes cosmetic solutions, more durable than basic options | More expensive than basic plans, may still require further treatment in the future | $5,145–7,060 |
| Ideal Plan | Most comprehensive, addresses all issues, includes high-end cosmetic solutions | Most expensive, may require multiple procedures and recovery time | $32,775–41,225 |
| Aggressive Reset Plan | Addresses all issues swiftly, includes high-end cosmetic solutions, may be ideal for severe cases | Most expensive, most invasive, requires significant recovery time | $32,775–41,225 |

Recommended Treatment 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
- SRP
- Endo
- Extractions
- PRF
- Temp Needs
Phase II: Diagnostics
- Grafting
- Sinus/Ridge Work
- Airway Screens
- Ortho Starts
Phase III: Definitive Restorations
