Must READ!! I was advised by my legal representation not to leave this review yet; but in an…read moreeffort to prevent someone else from encountering the same bad experiences I had, I've decided to move forward with this review. My experience with this office was very disappointing. I had a front tooth I needed an implant on and went to Dr. Fretwell to have it completed from start to final restoration of the crown. Before scheduling an appointment to begin, I met with her and asked specifically, "Can you make this tooth look like the crown beside it?" I was told, "Yes, absolutely. We have multiple labs we can use that will be no problem." So I decided to move forward with the treatment process and took $2,025 to start the process. First step was to remove the tooth which led to my gum being split up to the root tip and stitches which took 4 months to heal and gum tissue to grow back down in to place. Next was the implant which gets placed and down to the final stitch being in place, I told her I could feel everything but was told rather than stick me with the needle again she would go ahead and put the last stitch in. This stitch was from the pallet forward and the pain was so bad I almost got sick. Which led to her numbing me again anyway. Once again, the gum tissue was split open but eventually grew back down while waiting for the implant to heal properly. Now its time for the final restoration. I have the impressions and Im excited to have this all put behind me after nearly a year of dealing with all of this. I go in to have the crown placed and its an oversized crown that extends over the gum tissue with pink at the top of the porcelain crown. I rejected it and 4 other tries from the lab to make it look right. Even the assistants in the office said, "That cant be right." I was told by Dr. Fretwell that it was from bone and gum loss... well I wonder why I could possibly have gum loss when its tore open and made to heal repeatedly!!?? So, after several tries and me not being happy with the result. If you can imagine a HUGE tooth next to a smaller front tooth .... hideous!! I was presented with an alternative to achieve the aesthetic look that I was originally promised. The 2 options were to have the crown lengthened on the other front tooth and replace that crown or abandon the implant all together and go with a bridge. I was told my crown on the other tooth needed replaced anyway because it was fractured... but turns out after a second opinion... It was not! On this option... she did offer to pay for the pontic on the implant tooth which would still result in a whole lot more money out of my pocket. Now it has been nearly a year since I started the initial treatment and I will not be stepping back into this office nor will my 3 sons that used to go here. I will be finishing up restoration elsewhere. Beware of this place if you value your smile and money!

Very honest and very skilled! After Aspen had told me I needed a root canal and crown, I wanted a…read moresecond opinion, so I tried Northgate. I went ahead and had a cleaning and new x-ray as it had been more than 6 months. They are a little behind the times on technology, still using the scrapers instead of the more pleasant (or less unpleasant) water jets. But the dental hygienist was very skilled with it. Then she took the X-rays. Soon, Dr. Sims came in to discuss the Xrays. Rather than just telling me "you need this, you need that", he brought them up on the TV screen and went over every detail with me. I hadn't mentioned Aspen to him. When he got to that tooth, he showed me the cavity, and explained that there was no abscess. If it get it filled before it gets much deeper, I won't need a root canal. That saved me at least $1,500. He also found a large chip on the other side of my mouth, and recommended a filling. I got them both filled the next day. Dr. Sims put in the fillings and did an excellent job. It's never fun, of course, but he handled it as well as he could. They had me as numbed up as possible without putting me to sleep. One of them I didn't feel at all when he was drilling. The other side he told me was at a "nerve cluster" and to let him know if it hurts. I felt it some, but was able to get through it. The filling operation was a success! I'm happy and will definitely return! I wish I could give it 4.5 starts. Due to the old fashioned scrapers, I can't justify a perfect score, but that is my only complaint.

My family started going to True Dental when our dentist, Dr. Thompson, joined the group. We…read morenoticed that service started to slip after they moved to their new office on Gunbarrel Rd. The last three visits my husband and I have had, we've been called back 25-30 minutes past our scheduled appointment time. It's frustrating to arrive 10-15 minutes early, then see everyone that arrived after you called back before you are. As many times as they call, e-mail, and text with appoinment reminders, I expect them to honor my time and be prompt as well. But most frustrating is the lack of communication of Dr. Thompson's departure. I visited him in September, with a follow up the next week. I was surprised that a different dentist performed the procedure. When I asked, I was only told that Dr. Thompson was no. longer with True Dental. My husband called before his visit a few months later asking who his denist would be, but was only told the practice had several dentists. He didn't find out who his dentist was until he was in the room. There has never been any formal communcation about the change. We are looking for another dentist with a smaller office that provides more personal service and values their patients.

My biggest complaint is that the front office does not properly submit for claims and this causes…read moreproblems between the patient and insurance. I have spent hours on the phone with Scenic city and with insurer trying to straighten up a problem caused by Scenic city failure to submit proper documentation for the code that they submitted. Ironically, Scenic city got paid the proper higher amount from both insurance and from a co-pay from me. But that had the effect that the insurance company counted it against me for not having documentation of the procedure code and later charged me for an appropriately timed preventive visit that should have been part of my benefit. Not an insurance issue, but an issue with the claim submission from Scenic city.

This past summer She went to them again to have them re-lined due to a lose fit. After setting them in place with the mold material, they became stuck in her mouth. the Dentist attempt to pull and pry them out until the pain became far too much for. spent a week without being able to remove them and recovering from the pain. went back for second visit and again the dentist could remove the dentures from her mouth and again put her in extreme pain. 3rd visit they finally were able to remove the dentures and clean out the material they use to form the reline fit. She came back home and never did have the fit corrected. she's 81 yrs old at the time. the still charged her $688. Dentures not fixed, and putting an 81 yr old lady through crazy pain, anxiety and distress. We have since moved out of state for family and home where that is ADA so we can take care of her. When called to split the bill in 2 payments they were upset. After relaying the issues with the failed procedure, continued to ask for her to come back in. 1st, after that torture why would anyone go back for more? 2nd informed them several times during the call that we are now out of state and nowhere close enough to go back anyway. ( still intending to pay the bill ) Even after telling them we would be paying the bill, the were rude and unapologetic. I assume they thought we were just trying to get out of paying a bill. Maybe they should have checked the record of the visits and issues. How can anyone do such lousy work, never complete the work the work, put an 81 year old mobility challenged lady through that much pain, and then not only charge nearly $700 for the pleasure of their company, but also get rude over the billing?

He stated a filling would not hold due to the likelihood of the filling not adhering to my tooth. I trusted his recommendation and proceeded with the process of coming in several times for the crown. 1st Evaluation. 2nd visit: crown prep and temp crown placement 3. Permanent crown placement. I paid half the cost of the crown out of pocket $773 at my eval appointment. Another dentist performed the procedures, not Dr Dill. After my permanent crown placement. I went to check out at the front lobby. The receptionist told me my insurance did not cover my crown. She stated the claim and X-rays did not sufficient for payment. I reached out to my insurance company and the rep stated, their reviewing dentist determined the information provided did not does not show structure loss that cannot be repaired with routine filling. I reached out to the insurance claims person at his office regarding resubmitting photos, thorough explanation and x rays proving the necessity crown placement. She stated she sent in all the documents, my insurance still did not approve the claim. I received the a bill for the remaining balance of $686. A total of $1459. Therefore, Dr Dill and his office could not provide adequate documentation to justify the necessity of the crown placement to another dentist to approve a claim. FYI this is my first crown that could have been treated with a filling, if that failed a crown could have been placed after. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DENTAL OFFICE TO MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY.
