I came here when I was in college sometime between 2007 and 2009 complaining of a sore front tooth.
Dr. Flanagan told me I had cracked my tooth "above the gum line" and would need to have it removed and replaced. I was horrified! He told me I would need a special implant but "not to be scared." His implant patents hung on the walls around us in his office. I asked him what would happen if I didn't get it removed and he said my front tooth would die and turn a different color. I went home and cried for days.
Cut to two weeks later when I got a second opinion. The second opinion dentist took a boat load of x rays but could not find any sort of "crack" in my front tooth - and certainly nothing to warrant removing it!!! Almost ten years later, there is still nothing wrong with my front tooth and it's not discolored or dead.
A few years after this I realized I clench my teeth, got a night guard, and have never had pain again.
Make no mistake people, this guy would've removed my perfectly healthy front tooth at the age of 22 only to be replaced by an expensive implant not covered by insurance. If you value your teeth, do not go here! This is unethical and this guy should be out of business. read more
