READ THIS REVIEW. Young dentists face stiff competition in this area so fresh grads are often obliged to join or buy dental offices where they can afford the sizable office, equipment rental and advertising expenses. Checkbook.org however, rightly lists and rates dentists only by name of individual dentists. On Checkbook, Robert Barnett’s phone number and website is linked to Jessica Weber. She apparently bought in when Barnett went into retirement and quit taking new patients. Well, I needed to fix loose dentures quick. Dr. Barnet, was highly rated on Checkbook,org and cheap (45% less than average). AND he took my (Kaiser) dental insurance AND I could get an appointment right away. I jumped at the chance, but when I showed up I found not Dr Barnett, but Jessica Weber, a complete unknown without any Checkbook presence at all. Once ensconced in the chair Weber examined me and promised to research it by contacting my previous dentist, who recently moved and now lives off in Virginia. She told me that “we” (presumably including the departed Dr Barnett) “no longer” took my medical insurance, although she insisted that she had attempted “many times” to correct the error with Kaiser (a $500 difference for me). But she hadn’t “corrected” her apparent affiliation with Dr Barnett on Checkbook.org, either. Dr Weber let me go with no charge, but other dentists might not be so generous. The very common “dental office” system can be what amounts to a “bait-and-switch” scam that we all should be aware of. Dr Weber may be a perfectly good dentist, but there’s no way I can tell.

Finding a Dentist Who Makes You Smile

The feedback we’ve collected from surveying consumers and dentists will help you find a tip-top tooth doc. We found substantial differences in ratings from dentist to dentist.

How to Take a Big Bite Out of Dental Costs

When choosing a dentist, you should care most about quality of care. But for many patients, cost matters, too. Fortunately, we found that many dentists who rated high on all aspects of care and service also had low fees.

Dental Specialties: Who Does What?

Endodontists and periodontists and prosthodontists, oh my! Here’s who does what.

Should You Buy Dental Insurance?

If you don’t carry dental insurance coverage, you can buy it yourself. But first carefully evaluate available options.

Teeth-Whitening Options

There are several options to lighten your not-so-pearly whites. Some methods are completely DIY, some are DIY with help from a dentist, and some are performed while in a dentist’s chair.

How to Brush and Floss Properly

You’ll reduce the length of time you have to spend in a dentist’s chair—and drastically reduce the procedures your teeth need—by regularly performing proper routine dental care.

Cavities: How They Form and How to Prevent Them

Throughout recorded history, tooth decay (dental caries) has probably caused more pain than any other infectious disease.

A Summary of Dental Treatment Options

Despite substantial progress in the prevention of caries and gum disease, most Americans’ mouths still bear witness to their ravages. The usual procedures for repairing and replacing teeth have not changed in many years but progress continues on most fronts.

Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment

As more and more teeth withstand the threat of caries, a second type of threat must be confronted: periodontal disease, the disease of the gums, bone, and supporting structures around the teeth.
