Hello. How are you? Are you from Naples, Florida or Naples, Italy? I would be happy to answer your question, but I need a lot more information. For starters, here are some examples of information I would gather from a new patient. I need to know what type periodontal classification you are. Do you have pocketing around all the line angles of your dentition? How many teeth have signs of disease? Do you have any recession? Do you have furcation involvement? If so …what class? Do you have posterior bite collapse? What is the prognosis of each tooth involved? Do you have a limited opening? Have you been given the option of a FDA cleared laser procedure (LANAP)? Are you referring to traditional gum surgery? Do you need or have you been offered bone grafting? If not…why?
Do you take any medications? Is there a family history of gum disease? Any mobility of teeth requiring splinting? Do you have a night guard? What is your general health? Are your wisdom teeth impacted? If so what is the angulation? Any teeth close to the mandibular nerve? Any history of bleeding problems? Evaluation of digital x-rays…I could go on and on, but I just want you to understand the reasons why it is unprofessional to give a quote over the internet or phone without evaluating a patient.
Each patient presents differently and fees can vary depending on many factors too numerous to list in its entirety.
By all means, I recommend getting a second opinion if you have any concerns. Concentrate on getting the best diagnosis, and a presentation of all your options that would be appropriate for your situation. In our office, we will often spend 1-1.5 hours on the consultation, examination and treatment plan. We don’t encourage or recommend that anyone get a quote for treatment over the phone or the internet unless they have been examined by a qualified, laser periodontist specialist.
Best regards,
Dr. Eric Linden
