Booth is an excellent dentist. In addition to superior skills and knowledge, he posses the requisite bedside manner that makes your experience informative and positive. Just having had a tooth extracted, I'm not in the mindset to write a lengthy review. That being said, the positive experience did provide me the need to properly recognize and note a well deserved acknowledgement. I'd give the man 6 stars if I could. read more

I unfortunately had a very negative and traumatizing experience at General Dentistry of Cape Cod. I discovered the practice when I had a small chip in an onlay during the time that many practices were closed due to lack of PPE and COVID-19 restrictions. I was thrilled to find a practice that was in good shape to open and could help me within a week of calling about my situation. Upon my arrival, I noticed that the practice was taking health and sanitation precautions very seriously, which is certainly a relief during this time. When examining my tooth, Dr. Uzpurvis expressed concern over what was tooth and what was onlay. The onlay was done using CEREC technology so the color was designed to match my natural tooth. When examining the X rays, I was told there were two white lines beneath the surface which must be a crack, so he drilled very far into the tooth and prepped it for a crown versus an onlay. I was not having any pain under the tooth and the chip was just a small chip on the side where food was getting stuck. When I showed the X ray to my provider who put in the onlay, she explained these were actually cement lines, not a crack, which explains why they only appeared below the surface. The prep was very painful. I usually have a high tolerance for pain, but this was unbearable. I went home swollen and was told to come back the following week for "ES." I asked what this was and Dr. U said "don't worry about it, we just move around the gums to make room for the crown." I woke up the following morning with blood on my pillowcase and in my mouth from the dental work. The temporary crown I was given was very uncomfortable. When it was ultimately removed the base of the crown had not been shaved down and was very rough on the skin. Shaving down this crown would have taken 2 minutes max and alleviated so much discomfort I was experiencing, but this was just one example of the patient not coming first at this practice. It was also too wide. I returned to the office the next week for the ES, which is actually electro surgery - a gingivectomy. I was not at all prepared for this invasive procedure. Essentially a tool is used to burn the gums around the tooth. It was very painful and leaves your gums raw. This procedure took place on May 18 - it is currently July 20 and my gums have still not fully recovered. After the ES was complete I was in a lot of pain and required more novicaine injections. I was then given an Advil and a Tylenol as I was not prepared with any pain medication, not understanding what type of procedure this would be. Finally we were done and the mold was taken for the crown. After looking at the mold I was informed that this procedure was not the right one and I was going to have to wait weeks to heal and then go back in for a crown lengthening surgery. I broke down. I was already traumatized from this surgery, and now I need another? I asked for an explanation. Dr. U said that when he got halfway around the tooth he thought it might not work but kept going. I asked why we didn't catch this beforehand and got a few frustrating responses. The first was "I was trying to save you some bucks" and the second was "I mucked up, this was the wrong procedure." This was all so shocking to hear. As a patient, I want to know the risks of a procedure before going into it so I can assess if putting myself through something very invasive to potentially save money that may or may not work would be worth it. I was not given the opportunity to understand any of the risks or really any of the decisions being made while I was in the chair. Because I was in pain and clearly upset from sitting through what turned out to be an unnecessary surgery, Dr. U liberally prescribed me a Tylenol with Codeine and Lorazepam - a drug I had never heard of or taken - to treat the anxiety of coming back. I was told Lorazepam would "feel like a glass of wine" and to take it on my way in. I was not about to trust taking a new drug after this treatment and threw the bottles away. I called my regular provider after this experience, and she offered to take a look at my case the following week now that her practice was up and running. I was shocked to see that much of the onlay that I believed was taken out was actually still intact, which means we probably took out a lot of good tooth in prepping for this crown. I had the crown done elsewhere. When I went to bill, my insurance said Gen Dentistry billed my insurance as if the crown was complete, which is unethical. Instead of admitting to insurance they offered to send me the check and I could turn this over to the new provider. When the check didn't arrive I was told it was sent to an old address. I asked to stop payment and send a new check and was given attitude, and that we'd have to "check with the doctor." I remained patient and polite and still was treated like I was asking for too much. Practice also refused to refund my out of pocket deposit. read more

This was my first visit there with Dr Booth for new patient exam and then saw Hygienist for a cleaning. I am new to Cape Cod and was apprehensive about going to a new office but I felt like family by the time I left. They treated me with care , compassion and attention to detail. They were all very welcoming and friendly . They accepted my full set of X-rays from my former general dentist and after Dr. Booth"s exam he explained any observations and recommendations in terms I could understand. The front desk staff was wonderful with my treatment plan estimate and navigating my new insurance plan. I am getting old and these things are very confusing but they made things clear. I would highly recommend this office !!!! They even laughed at my silly jokes!!!!! I am so glad I found them . read more

Do not go to this place! I made an appointment to have me teeth clean. The day of the office sent me text message to remind me of the appointment which I thought was nice. Then I got into the chair and the hygentist asked me if I knew why I was there. I said yes for a cleaning. She informed me the cleaning was not possible today(which was what I asked for when I made the app) she continued to tell me the fist appointment was only a meet and greet with the doctor and i needed x-rays. I had x-rays taken a week prior from an oral surgeon and had them sent to their office. I was informed that they will only use the x ray from their office and if I wanted to do the cleaning and the meet and greet in the same day I would have to make two appointments. Do Not Use This Office read more
