Long but Truthful Review…read more
In September 2025, I went to Dr. Wadley for two long dental bridges and proceeded with treatment based on her recommendation. During the initial phase, which consisted mainly of impressions, I asked to see photos of previous bridge or veneer cases she had completed. Unfortunately, she was unable to locate any examples of her work. Looking back, that should have been a warning sign.
Once my bridges were placed, the problems began almost immediately. Over the next six months, both bridges repeatedly cracked and failed. Each bridge has now broken three separate times, requiring multiple return visits and replacements.
The final straw occurred on March 10, 2026. What was supposed to be a routine appointment to place yet another replacement bridge turned into a nightmare. During the procedure, my teeth were drilled repeatedly, resulting in nerve exposure and the need for an emergency root canal. Unfortunately, the root canal was not completed. Following the procedure, I experienced significant pain and was unable to obtain a prescription because I was told there was no prescription pad available.
At that point, I completely lost confidence in Dr. Wadley's ability to continue my treatment and sought care elsewhere. The new dentist confirmed that the root canal was incomplete, with remaining nerve tissue and an untreated canal requiring corrective treatment. I had to personally cover part of the cost to have the procedure corrected.
In addition, two other dentists, including a prosthodontist who specializes in bridges, veneers, and implants, evaluated my case and confirmed that the bridges had open margins and were improperly fitted. As a result, I now have to start the entire process over, including the fabrication of completely new bridges.
This experience has been financially, physically, and emotionally devastating. I paid Dr. Wadley $6,188, and my insurance paid an additional $1,084. Despite these payments, I am left with ongoing pain, missing teeth, severely shaved-down teeth, embarrassment, and the need for extensive corrective treatment.
I have repeatedly attempted to resolve this matter directly through emails, phone calls, and certified mail, all of which have gone unanswered. I have photographs, dental records, and documentation supporting everything described in this review.
I work with the public every day, and I am deeply embarrassed by the condition of my teeth. I cannot smile with confidence, and my daily life has been significantly affected by this experience.
My advice to anyone considering extensive restorative work at this office is to do your research carefully and seek multiple opinions before proceeding. Years in practice do not necessarily translate into expertise in complex restorative dentistry. Unfortunately, I learned that lesson the hard way.
