I was shopping around for a new dentist and made an appointment with this practice. They did a cleaning and checkup, and I did see a dentist, but it wasn't Casey Williams - apparently he was on vacation and another dentist was filling in for him. Everything went well, so I made an appointment for my next 6-month cleaning/checkup.
I did see Williams on the next appointment, and he told me I needed 3 crowns replaced and more than half a dozen fillings. Strange, since the previous dentist sent me off will a clean bill of health, and I have always had regular dental care.
I made a follow-up appointment to discuss the proposed work in a little more detail, but Williams canceled that appointment at the last minute, so I took a copy of the evaluation Williams did to yet another dentist, who told me I did need to replace one crown, but said he couldn't confirm any of the other issues in Williams' evaluation.
So I saw 4 separate dentists that year - my previous dentist, the dentist filling in for Williams while he was on vacation, Williams himself and the new dentist. And 3 of the 4 dentists did not believe I needed anywhere near the amount of Williams had proposed.
And here's the cherry on the top: one of the fillings Williams had proposed was for a tooth I don't even have - I lost it many years ago. read more
