it was very pleasant experience. staff made me comfortable and answered all my questions

I found Dr. Coolican to not be very patient friendly nor professional. I spent $17,000 with his practice for mini implants. I consist had issues with them staying in place not long many weeks after the procedure was finished. When I complained about the bottom plate not staying in, he repeatedly told me I needed to do a different type of implant on the bottom for another$10,000. The bottom implant ONLY has 4 posts. 3 in front, one on the left and NOTHING on the right side to help secure it at all. At one point, Dr. Coolican looked at me and said "I am not the one that made you loose your teeth". My advice......GO ELSEWHERE! Run away! Michael Hazleton, Pa. read more

My situation is that I tried to be prepared for fixed bottom denture by getting solid 4 root molar replacement implants, left and right sides, instead of root canal crowns, years ago. I had a estimate with my regular dentist for $13k because I need 2 more reg implants in place of the canines, just 4 needed altogether. This is including 6 extractions. I came to Mint for a 2nd opinion. The dentist was not personable, insisted I get a total of 10 mini implant as he said 'implants cannot be used to bridge a gap'... huh? maybe it's a 'mini' implant issue? .. a total of 12 implants are needed for a permanent lower denture. along with replacement bone $500 a pop in all extraction area's. The Mint dentist gave me an estimate of $10K just for 2 extractions and 5 separate mini implants and I would still have 4 crooked, stained, front bottom teeth to deal with going forward. With the pain and healing of FIVE Implants vs TWO. Its all talk to say less painful and leave with the implant & crown, same day? Not buying it.. literally. Also, no follow up contact after the estimate. I was walked back to a smelly storage room for the Panoramic x-ray, then the dentist barely looked in my mouth and already had the estimate in his hand when he came in the room, was not interested in discussing any other options.

Very friendly staff, they knew me by name and I think remember more about what was going in my life than I theirs. The Dr would give me a hard time about getting my wisdom teeth out but in my mind "if it's not broke don't fix it" so I let it go and to this day I have no problems with them. Once my wife started going to him he did not treat her right. That's when he crossed the line. He fought her about a simple filling. She asked for a silver filling and he insisted on her getting the white one. Then all of the sudden he said that this cavity needs to be root canal. She had to fight him to get the silver filling. We have since found a new dentist. The problems are still showing up. My wife's last appointment with the new dentist said that the silver filling needs repair or replacement. Coolican left an overhang and did not use a wedge to properly fill the cavity. Like I said the staff at his office is great but I will not tolerate the behavior and poor practice this guy does. read more
