I was an adult patient of Dr. Arcidi for about 3 years, when my braces were finally removed, my teeth looked good, his assistant was instructed to remove the glue that held the band on my teeth, she was new as I had never seen here there before.
The tool she used was the slow speed grinder, the Dr. had left the area to see another client. and by the time she was done she had ground off all of the enamel on my teeth. I almost passed out from dread. My teeth felt like a sea shell they were so rough.
Pictures were taken, and on my follow up visit I presented the before panorama with the after panorama, the difference was obvious and sad.
I confronted Dr. Arcidi, who just brushed off my concerns. Since I am not a litigious type person I wrote it off as a lesson learned.
Now 4 years later my teeth are starting to crack and develop holes, I will need a full set of veneers at the least, my dentist said I may need to have some of the teeth removed.
Dr. Arcidi may be a good orthodontist, but on that day he was careless and did not supervise his new assistand resulting in me needing about $10,000.00 in dental work.
