Had a second opinion and nothing was wrong. Dr. Houser's office staff has also changed and front staff are not as friendly. I recently felt Dr. Houser was bothered by doing my dental checks. It's a shame that his practice has changed and not for the best. Thankful I listened to my gut and had a second opinion.

After…read morespending a little over $3000 for the crowns, they were not right so I went back and told him they were still painful and not comfortable. He did a few things that took about 10 minutes and said they were correct. I left they were still not right so I went to another dentist and they told me they were not put in correctly at all. So now I have to pay to have them totally redone. It's really a lot of money to pay to have it done once and now I get the privilege of having to pay to get it done twice.

Chose this practice for a specialist who was a PP in my dental plan. The D of G does not function…read morelike any typical Dental Practice I have been to before as you make an appointment which is more of a concept than a reality. The practitioners are plentiful and business oriented. The Specialists are kind and skilled. The office management is rather chaotic which I found disconcerting for the care I required. The financial approach here is not traditional. They do not abide by usual dental insurance participation norms and instead charge patients for all "remaining fee."

I've visited this office three times, and each time got worse until they broke this camel's back…read more At the first visit, of course, we were just getting to know each other. I was quite surprised, though, not to receive any encouraging word when they discovered that, at age 65, I still had no cavities. Instead there was a lot to say about all the procedures they should do and how I'd need to start coming in for quarterly visits, rather than sticking to the bi-annual visits covered by insurance. On a singular positive note: This was the first time a dentist told me, definitively, that I am grinding my teeth and causing damage to enamel and gums. (Past dentists would ask me if I grind. I'm asleep, I don't know.) At the second visit, I was prepared for the negative experience and determined up front that they would not shame me into fluoride treatments, periodontal rejuvenation, etc. When I told Nabila that I couldn't afford to go down the road with all their suggestions, I received pity for supposedly being too poor. I said "no" to all the extras and left with just the exam, xrays, and cleaning, as planned, but miffed that she would talk to me that way. The straw: First off, the shocking blow that I have my first cavities. (Did you know a medication can cause dry mouth and ruin your saliva protection?) That's not their fault, of course, but the treatment plan! Nabila quoted around $1800 was "necessary," including "cerec inlays" for 3 cavities mounting to $1100. She even mentioned the word "crown" a couple of times. Crown? I thought "filling" is the appropriate treatment for a cavity--especially one that hasn't been there long and can't be very large. Additionally, Nabila had charged me nearly $250 for the cleaning (covered by my insurance) and proposed another $100 for cancer screening. Every prior dentist has done a cancer screening included with the exam, but because this office uses high-tech digital equipment... I left with their proposal and determined to seek a second opinion. Thankfully, insurance covers the consultation with another dentist--and thankfully the local dentist I chose (using the same high-tech digital equipment) offered to do a whole new set of xrays with the exam. I made an appointment the same day and received confirmation that I do, indeed, have cavities, but only TWO need to be treated--with composite fillings, not inlays; they are too small to require that much intervention. The third spot on the xray was too small for treatment. This dentist recommended waiting and watching to see if the small amount of damage can be reversed with fluoride and flossing. Bottom line: Addressing only the cavities (and saving the periodontal issues for another day), I'll be spending $80 for two composite fillings compared to $1100 for three cerec inlays at Dentists of Gainesville. Thank God for gut feelings. I knew there was something very wrong about that office! They are not to be trusted.

I am so grateful my mother recommended I consult with her dentist!…read more My teeth were a disaster when I first met Dr. Chehade about 10 years ago. He and his team have helped me with everything from general maintenance to root canals to implants. More recently, they solved a severe wear problem caused by poor work done 15+ years ago. I decided to replace all of my lowers (at the same time) in order to open my bite and fix the wear problem. It was a huge procedure yet I was not at all nervous or apprehensive once the time came to do the actual work. Planning was meticulous with multiple scans, wax models and coordination with fabrication lab. It is such a relief to have full trust in a dentist, something I have not experienced in the past. Assistant Rona made me excellent temporaries; four sections that felt great and enabled normal eating while waiting on permanents. Next, my six front uppers were replaced and that one piece temporary was amazing! I could eat apples whole if I wanted to. It is so nice to have dependable temps especially when so many teeth are being worked on at the same time. The office staff works hard to get as much coverage from insurance as possible which is not an easy feat! Estimates are detailed and out of pocket cost is always known up front. Scheduling is easy and location is convenient. Recent renovations inside the office and treatment rooms have made the space more comfortable and it is always clean and organized. Overall, I appreciate Dr. Chehade's attention to detail and communication with staff during procedures to get things right. It is clear he takes pride in his work. Sometimes things take longer than planned but the quality of work is always the first priority. There is no rushing involved, just methodical execution and explanation of what is being done or needs to be done. Thank you GDA for all you have done for me!
