Of course, within a few months, they will be back sitting in the chair right where they started. The truth of the matter is, as a dentist you provide services that can change a patient's lives, but that doesn’t always come cheap. Fortunately, there are some alternatives out there today that allow you to provide the care you recommend while not forcing the patient into financial ruin. How?
