Best dentist in St. Marys?

I need to find a new dentist.. my teeth are in terrible shape. I have been to several different ones over the past year and am not totally please with either of them. I am self employed and the only insurance I have is what the state provides for low income... Four plus months ago I had a tooth extacted and was told I need three root canals and more.. Was given a $13,000 estimate. However I can't do payments with them because they want it all paid off in a year. Meanwhile I had to have shoulder surgury so never went back. Where is a good dentist in St. Marys that doesn't cost so much? Will not go to Dr Dabbs... My family and I went there for years and when we started going to others most of us had problems that have developed over time. Can anyone give me info on Dr Chase in Leonardtown?

It sure as heck isn't Neibauer Dental. I have no idea of the quality of Dr. Chase's work, but I have heard he will work with people in your financial situation.

Good luck. I hope you're able to get your teeth fixed!

Someone I know went there for that reason. She almost died.

I'd pull them out with plyers at home with no novacaine before I saw him. I've heard horror stories!

I know a guy who did exactly that after drinking nearly a 5th of Jack to get his nerve up and dull the pain. I thought he'd be too drunk to do it, but he managed to get it done.

Dont know about Dr. Chase, I go to Dr.Long in Leonardtown. I have dental insurance, but a friend said he will work with you on payments if you're not insured.

Have you tried TideWater Dental on Great Mills Rd? We've been going there for a while, I have been very pleased since.


*Disclaimer* - I'm not saying they are the best, but I'm not saying they aren't either, just that I am happy with them, the wife is, and my daughter (5) is They pulled all 4 of my wisdom teeth, and I thought the guy did a good job. Plus, they have tvs on the ceilings
