Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Can you give me more information? What is your son''''s age? What type of accident and when did it happen? Braces were placed to stabilize teeth after the accident? How long have braces been off? The more detail you give us, the better we can advise on where to go from here. Naturally, the best opinion Dr. Moreau can give would be AFTER he''''s done a comprehensive exam. I believe you''''d be coming from Harvey, so I understand it would be a committment of time and resources to come to our office. We do have many patients who come from throughout this region for our expertise. I can offer you to schedule a no-charge consult visit if you would like to meet Dr. Moreau, discuss your son''''s case and see our office before you schedule an exam. Or, if you''''d like to save a trip and go ahead and get the ball rolling, we could schedule a comprehensive exam for about $64. (This does not include x-rays since you indicated you have some.) Dr. Moreau would meet with you first (as in the consult visit), and then see your son in the operatory to check all his existing conditions, soft tissues (gums, palate, tongue,etc.), mobility of all teeth, etc. He can then determine his recommendations and discuss prognosis and/or treatment. Just let me know what we can do for you next.Julie MoreauPractice Administrator985-809-7645jbmoreau@charter.net
