Update after 1.5 years. There is a reason that this dentist, being open in Blue Hill for approximately 3 years, has 0 Yelp reviews...gave 2 stars instead of just 1 because the crown was still able to be reattached after falling out 3 times since May 2020.
Temporary crown came out after 3 days. Permanent crown came out after a few days AND I had to drive from out of state to have them repair it as there were no solutions they were willing to offer for me to remedy the situation where I was. Had the terrible experience of retrieving that crown after swallowing it...when eating soup.
I heard plenty about his divorce that was still pretty fresh at the time. Hearing loads of F-bombs at a family dentist and being told, after drilling down my tooth already, that they decided to charge me more (which they did not after I brought up that I was paying in cash and being held hostage with my mouth open was uncool) made it so that going back to get it reattached was more than a chore. Out of his good grace, I was told I would not be charged for reattaching a crown that should not have come out after only a few days. I laughed thinking he was joking about even considering charging me after I drove hundreds of miles to allow him the opportunity to remedy the situation.
On Christmas 2021, permanent crown came out again when eating bread. Beyond the cement failing yet again (I have another crown that was 5x less the cost that has never come out), the lack of professionalism from the head dentist never sat well with me. I waited to review for the inevitable occurrence of it falling out again.
Finally giving the stars this dentist deserves. Thankfully, the crown was able to be put back on elsewhere so at least it was salvageable. And I didn't swallow it on Christmas so avoided that inhumane and unsanitary experience a second time.
Go to the dentist office down the street. They treated me very professionally and did an excellent job with my root canal on that same tooth and were also my best friend's family dentist the 5 years they lived in Blue Hill. They just weren't able to get the crown as quickly, but I certainly paid the price for wanting the crown done before I headed back out from Maine by going to Castleberry. read more
