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 – Focused Treatment | Affordable, Addresses immediate issues | Does not correct underlying malocclusion, does not fully address oral hygiene issues | $2,500-$3,500 |
| 2 – Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment | Corrects malocclusion, can improve oral hygiene through better alignment | More expensive, longer treatment time, may still need restorative work | $5,000-$7,000 |
| 3 – Full Mouth Rehabilitation | Addresses all issues, improves smile aesthetics and function | Most expensive, lengthy treatment time | $20,000-$30,000 |
| 4 – Ultra-Comprehensive Plan (Full mouth rehab + Orthodontics) | Ideal Option, All issues addressed, Optimal function, Optimal prognosis, Optimal aesthetics | Highest cost, Longest time | $30,000-$50,000 |

Ideal Phased 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
- Complete dental cleaning and oral hygiene education
- Replace large fillings with crowns where necessary
Phase II
- Start orthodontic treatment to correct malocclusion
- Continue regular cleanings and monitor oral hygiene
Phase III
- Complete orthodontic treatment
- Evaluate for any further restorative work needed
- Maintenance and prevention of future issues
- Protective bite guard
