Read BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO THIS PLACE! Use to live in the area...At first appearance I thought this was a good place to go. I made appointment and went in for cleaning and one tooth that was bothering me, due to poor work by a previous Munster dentist. Before I could see the dentist I had to go through 2 appointments with this lady that calls herself a hygienist, but in reality was just trying to see how much money they could make on you to pay for the new office with her list of evaluations. Before I ever got to the real problem this lady outlined to me what they needed to do at a cost of nearly $18,000. including 3 extractions (2 were wisdom teeth that were fine, but she stated they are way back there and hard to clean) REALLY...that is your problem...more things she outlined were, bone graft, skin graft, re enamel my teeth, 2 implants, and on and on and a few other incidental items. I made appointment to begin getting the problem taken care of and was surprised when my first visit, NOT what I expected, but only an extraction...now 3 weeks later just to get it pulled... They were set up to do 3 extractions including the perfectly good wisdom teeth to add to the charges when I said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I came in for this problem tooth that I had already spent about $2000 on with the Munster dentist that all started with him removing the filing without telling me until after while doing the tooth next to it saying it was "old" . This lead to a root canal a year later and a second root canal 6 months later and finally a visit to an endodontist that performed a 3rd root canal on this tooth only to find a root had been missed by the first dentist 2 attempts. I digress. Back to my visit at this office. After extraction made appointment in 2 weeks to return, thinking I am getting a bone graph as I was told by hygienist I had bone deteriation and they could not do an implant. Upon arrival I have panoramic x-ray, another BIG cost...and impressions done more money . Next visit 2 weeks later finally a bone graph $800 and now I must wait several months for graph to heal. Why not do this bone graph 3 months ago and we could be done faster. Finally the day comes for the implant. I actually told him I wanted to have both implants done at same time .....but was told it was to late and there was no bone on other side any longer. The dentist spends so much time 20-30 minutes setting up the guides to do the implant and he finally begins, when he abruptly stops and said the bone shattered and I can't do it. BUT we can do a bridge he says! Wait, I spent money for bone graph and time and now you can't do it. We are a good 8 month since first visit and $2-3 thousand spent. A family emergency came up out of town and I had to go so I had to put a hold on things. I spoke with another dentist during that time and never went back to McCarroll.
End of story 4 months ago I had 3 implants done by a different dentist. (a Harvard Graduate) All in about 30 minutes in his office. (simple procedure and no pain) No bone graph, no skin graph, and no addons. The crowns were placed on the implants couple days ago and they look great. He remarked you had good bone to place the implants in. Hummmm I guess the bone graph, skin graph, panoramic x-rays and other work needed were just another car payment for the first dentist. All 3 were done for less than half the cost of McCarroll's office for 1 and I had top of line titanium posts and full procelain crowns not metal covered ones. Look around before you commit.
Would not recommend this office to anyone. read more
