I would have rated this company less than 1 if I could have. I would have rated it -100!!!!
I had a TOTAL NIGHTMARE at this dentist. They were Aspen Dental in Chillicothe, Ohio. I had a horrible toothache in the top right. In figured THAT ONE TOOTH might need to be pulled, but I was not ready for what this so called "professional" told me when he told me "every tooth needs to come out." He actually told me that there were major problems on every tooth in my mouth. He said that after pulling my teeth they would fit me for a FULL SET OF DENTURES!!!! That was all they were after, I found out later.
They made an appointment for me within a few days to remove ALL MY TEETH, and me being so totally naive, I believed this "PROFESSIONAL" and what he said I needed. So I returned for the next appointment and was surprised when the dentist came in that it was not the same guy I had seen just a few days before. When I asked about the other guy, after all, he was the one who had diagnosed me, I was told he was no longer with their practice. So, I was given the numbing shots in my mouth and he went to work removing my teeth. I remember that there was A LOT OF FORCE NECESSARY to remove most of my teeth. One in particular, he all but had to stand with a foot on either side of my head and pull that hard to remove that one tooth. I remember thinking why would a BAD tooth be so difficult to remove? He finally finished and packed my mouth to help with the bleeding. They had taken X-rays and used stuff to make a mold of my teeth and they had made a QUICKIE full set of dentures which he proceeded to shove into my mouth and he told me NOT TO REMOVE THEM FOR THREE DAYS!!!!! My mouth was still bloody and now I had dentures sitting on top of these bloody holes in my mouth!!!! I had to wait for my full set of good dentures for several weeks for my mouth to heal and they would then fit them in my mouth. I found out how much I HATED DENTURES!!!! I wanted to have them set permanentl6 but found out there was no way I could afford the good dentures, let alone the $30,000 they wanted for the implants to be done!!!! So, I felt they had forced me to make the WORST POSSIBLE DECISION I HAD EVER MADE IN MY LIFE AND I WOULD BE FORCED TO LIVE WITH THAT DECISION EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!! I actually had another dentist review my original X-rays and she looked at me, IN TEARS, and apologized to me for someone in her profession to have done this too me, that only two teeth or so actually need to come out.
I ended up going to the BBB and reported a complaint to them and what ended up happening was a full refund for everything I had paid them after my teeth had been pulled. So, they finally were paid only for the removal of my teeth, which was the beginning of the worst, most painful, weeks of my life!!!!
I believe everyone needs to be warned about these people. They are crooks who only want to sell THEIR DENTURES. read more
