I had been a patient of Dr. Harris at Premier Dental for more than 15 years and had always trusted…read morethe care I received. Unfortunately, my experience after his departure has been extremely disappointing. About three weeks ago, I went in for a routine cleaning with absolutely no tooth pain or sensitivity. The new dentist Dr. Cartwright identified an issue involving a lower-left tooth and recommended what was described to me as a simple filling. The procedure itself was painful. I was told that some discomfort could last one to four weeks, but instead of improving, the pain and sensitivity progressively became worse--to the point that I could not sleep without taking pain medication. I contacted Premier Dental asking to have the tooth evaluated and to get a second opinion. I was told that Dr. Cartwright was on vacation and that the other dentist was booked for more than a month. Despite explaining that I was experiencing significant pain and had been a patient of the practice for over 15 years, I was directed to seek care elsewhere. I went to Smile Design Dental, where I was told there were chips in the filling and an infection. I was prescribed antibiotics and informed that I now need a root canal because the nerve has been affected. What makes this especially upsetting is that this tooth had no pain or sensitivity before the filling. I went in for routine care and agreed to what I understood would be a simple procedure. Three weeks later, I am dealing with significant pain, infection, antibiotics, a recommended root canal, and additional expense. I understand that complications can occur with any dental procedure. What disappoints me most is how the situation was handled afterward. After being a loyal patient for more than 15 years, I expected Premier Dental to make an effort to evaluate a serious problem that developed following treatment performed at their office. I hope Premier Dental reviews what happened and takes appropriate steps to improve both patient follow-up and continuity of care when complications occur.

I'm uniquely qualified to review both Dr. Cartwright and Dr. Rega due to the nightmare experience I…read morehad at this practice, and I wish I wasn't. I came in with a simple missing filling on a back molar that had been visibly patched with a temporary filling that was impossible to miss. Dr. Cartwright ignored it entirely, built a treatment plan for the wrong tooth, and placed a temporary crown on it. When I caught her mistake myself, she offered no apology. Her exact response: "the treatment plans would've been the same anyway." Even more telling, she had explicitly told me the tooth couldn't be filled and needed a crown. Yet the moment she was caught treating the wrong tooth, she filled it on the spot. The same tooth that supposedly couldn't be filled was suddenly fillable once she was caught? Odd. Getting anyone here to take responsibility was its own battle. The practice manager was beyond dismissive and argumentative. It took a third party calling on my behalf and threatening legal action before another dentist at the practice acknowledged that the tooth with the missing filling should have been treated first. Dr. Cartwright never once apologized. A refund was finally issued for my portion of the crown which seemed less an act of accountability and more an attempt to make me quietly disappear. Then came Dr. Rega who completed the permanent crown. During placement, while I was numb and unable to speak up for myself, a cusp was ground down to adjust the fit. My bite changed immediately afterward. When I returned in genuine pain, because the tooth now felt too low, she told me I would "get used to it," that "we can't add tooth structure back", refused to consider remaking the crown when I asked, and instead began grinding down healthy teeth on the opposite side of my mouth, which I explicitly told her I was fearful of having been in braces for 3 years and knowing that side was "perfect". At one point my teeth were audibly grinding together during her adjustments and she told me to "Stop making that noise". I was there because she had altered my bite and she seemed annoyed that I could tell. She was out of her depth and chose dismissal over help or a referral. I experience daily discomfort that didn't exist before what should've been a routine filling. Months later I'm still in treatment with multiple specialists correcting damage from this office. I will be reporting both Dr. Cartwright and Dr. Rega, as well as this practice, to the Missouri Dental Board due to the abysmal care I received here. Please please learn from my experience and look elsewhere.

Being new to the area, I've had to rely solely on reviews of businesses. When I broke my crown, I…read morehad to see a dentist as soon as possible. This office managed to get me in within a couple of days. When I arrived, I was greeted promptly by the staff. Everyone was very nice and understanding. I went back for X-rays within a few minutes, then took a seat in the dentist's chair. I explained to Tina what happened. I also explained that, as a disabled vet, money is not something I have large quantities of. Tina absolutely went above and beyond and saved me from having either crippling debt or a lost tooth. She gave me some extremely helpful advice involving my benefits, and the main thing is? She didn't have to. She didn't have to help me with something not involving the clinic. She did anyway, and that speaks volumes to me. She also was able to fix my crown temporarily, so I could at least walk around without an exposed (and very painful) nerve in my mouth. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. Because of my experience, I will always recommend the dental clinic to anyone who asks!

Don't go here. It is the worst dental care in the area. I went here for root canal few years ago…read moreand the dentist went through the nerve and caused excruciating pain that I have never had in my life. They had to redo the root canal. They will change doctors and then charge you for mistake they did. Also suggesting extra services that you don't need or your insurance don't cover.
