Previously, I had left this office glowing 5 star reviews. Based on a recent visit, I've found a…read morenew dentist.
I went a year and a half without going in due to Covid. I went in 3 months ago, paid for and got x-rays done and a cleaning, and was told everything looked good and he wanted to see me again in 3 months for a cleaning to help keep the plaque down - fine. So, I go in recently, I have a lot less plaque, he says, Good Job, and I'm thinking I'm out of there soon. Well then he tells me that the x-rays they did the last time were just "basic cleaning x-rays" and tells me they haven't done "full x-rays" for 3 years, and he wants to do them for free, "just to make sure we aren't missing anything". So, stupid me, I thank him and I say "okay" and the girl does like 20 x-rays and when she gets done, she tells me that the ones from 3 months earlier were clearer/better. So then, supposedly based on these new (less clear) x-rays, he tells me that all of my fillings are cracked, and that those could turn into cavities, and he wants to re-do all of them, he wants to replace the crown I have, but he never really tells me why, he tells me that some of the stains I have on my teeth "could turn into cavities", so of course he wants to drill and fill those too, he wants to pull 2 wisdom teeth that I have room for and that don't even have cavities, "because they might be accumulating bacteria and that might be causing some of these other problems". What problems? At no point was anything ever pointed out to me on the x-rays, and at no point, was I ever told I had a single cavity, yet he wants to fill 15 teeth, replace a crown, and pull 2 wisdom teeth to the tune of $2,700, but 3 months ago everything looked good? Oh, and this estimate doesn't actually include the crown, because I told him I'm not replacing it. Sorry, I wasn't born yesterday. Find another human ATM. I've found myself a new dentist.
