The process it's so precise, there is no need for weeks long manufacturing delay nor excessive drilling to level your post prosthetic bite.

Yall I can't imagine why anyone with free will would come to this place. The first time I showed up…read morethey had me there for 2 hours for a consult and a cleaning. They spent the whole 2 hours trying to get their X ray machine fixed Second time they had me scheduled for a deep cleaning of half my mouth and laser gum therapy, they billed me for both but failed to tell me they don't have someone present to do the laser therapy so they only cleaned half my mouth. I had to reschedule my third appointment because I had a work conflict and they were threatening to charge me a $50 fee even after their past screwups The third time the dental hygienist was ready to clean the other side of my mouth, noticed plaque on the side that was previously cleaned 2 weeks before but said she can only clean one side of my mouth. This is when I decided I wouldn't be returning. I want to leave the dentist with a clean mouth, not just half a clean mouth! The deep cleaning was stupid expensive because they failed to tell me they were out of network with my insurance, had I known that I wouldn't have even gone. Run, don't walk, away from this place unless you like going to a dentists office where the staff isn't ready to work, is ready to over bill you, and is you like professionals taking to you in a really condescending tone. I've lived in Dallas, Austin, and Houston, I usually go every 6 months and in general LOVE the dentist. This is by far, the worst, practice I've ever been to. They run this place like it's a popsicle stand as opposed to operating it like a professional establishment.

Hello, I'm sorry to…read moremake this review of a doctor at this establishment, and honestly, the office as a whole at this point. I came here in early 2019, and later in this last year, the service done here caused me further injury. For some background, I received a full mouth rehabilitation in another country, Istanbul, and it went sour. The way my row of teeth was positioned caused TMJ symptoms and strained muscles. I didn't trust them to go back to them to fix it, hell, as of six months later, they had erased my info anyway. When I visited Balcones Family Dental in October 2024, I had already gotten four teeth replaced from my full mouth rehab and one root canal, and was showing slight TMJ symptoms. When Christopher Glecos agreed to work on me, he offered an occlusal equilibration to straighten my bite. I should have vetted harder, because I had no idea he was then taking online classes for the thing I was asking for. At the time, my mouth has already been through a lot, and the process of strengthening my bite required more professional diligence than what I received. Doctor Glecos wanted to start fresh and not look at any of my background on the matter. I did give my info anyway, a told him I was going to see a chiropractor for my TMJ. At the time, I thought it would be enough, but I was wrong. Knowing now, I needed Physical Therapy and a specialist trained in TMJ symptoms. Even with all the background I gave him, he was still willing to do the occlusal equilibration even though his experience was green in the matter, and if he had thought otherwise, I'd have been referred to someone else. There's no way one would take on a complicated situation as mine if one was still only taking online classes for it... I explained that my goals were to address bite instability by identifying problem areas and finding a good course of action. For me, this meant combing through the teeth and seeing which ones were hitting harder and by how much, and then considering new crowns for those problem areas. Dr. Glecos described using 'slits of paper' to relax the bite and then find out where in the mouth my teeth were misaligned or hitting first. At no time did we discuss making irreversible adjustments to the bite. I was under the impression that we would take measurements of the teeth to see which ones needed attention. The time came for measurements, after the 'slits of paper' method, he started altering the bite with a bur. I did not expect the procedure to begin at that time, as I believed we were still in the evaluation phase. I allowed it since he had already started grinding at the bite, placing my trust in him. After several sessions, eventually I woke up with new symptoms. Nerve pain was shooting down my legs, and muscle strain, and eventually a chronic sinus infection. When expressing these symptoms on the day I was receiving my night guard, I was told to go to a general physician, and the dentist wasn't even going to be called in until I notified the ladies at the front desk. During the examination, Dr. Glecos stated he did not see any issues and offered to make additional adjustments. Given the new symptoms, I declined further alteration. He then indicated there was little else he could do. When I described the symptoms as nerve-related, I was told that adjustments were made on crowns rather than natural teeth and therefore, should not cause nerve symptoms. It was concluded that my symptoms were 'Underlying issues'... I feel the possibility of nerve issues can arise from a destabilized bite around the jaw joint. My TMJ issues were a focal point in our consultation, and I hoped for a more thorough evaluation or referral. For my symptoms, pain was traveling down my leg, my feet, my chest, and through my throat. Never in two places at once, but present every day. This altered the way I walked, and numbness could be felt in my left hand, and eventually, a rapid amount of aging was taking place. Facial deformations started to form under my eyes from a chronic sinus infection. This infection has been plaguing me since the occlusal adjustment. Tinnitus was sounding loudly from my right ear, the side with the TMJ issue. Also, there were medical reports given of these symptoms as well. Afterwards, I went to many other professionals and specialists seeking a root cause. These things usually take time; referrals have to be shipped out from my General Doctor, and acquiring an appointment within three months' time for some of these places was rare. My symptoms were getting better in some areas, but also getting worse. On a return visit six months later for a cleaning (I continued to work with them and report my symptoms), I was finally referred to a prosthodontist to check my bite. The hygienist at the time actually pushed the issue of seeing a specialist right away for a suspected collapsed bite. Given the timing of my symptoms, I am concerned that an earlier referral may have allowed for a timely assessment. I did

I have had two wonderful experiences at BFD. Dr Maddox is very nice and communicates very clearly…read more The hygienists are able to give you their full attention. I learned a lot about my teeth both times. The problem lies in that they do not contract with any insurance company, therefore you will always be covered at the out-of-network rate. This is frustrating for patients, but is understandable from the practice's perspective. When you make this decision, however, your front-office needs to be very good at letting people know exactly how much they're going to owe out of pocket. It is possible for them to call your insurance company, tell them what codes they'll likely claim, and get an amount covered back. Twice I asked them to do this, and twice they told me how much I'd owe out of pocket after the visit. Both times they WILDLY missed the mark, to the tune of over $100 per visit. This also happened with my children. After they visited, my wife said they mislead or understated our responsibility (perhaps on purpose) to get us in the door as new patients. We hadn't discussed it until I brought up my experience after the fact. Two customers with the same experience in the same house. Hmmmmm.... My family of four has now found another dentist who a) contracts with our insurance, and b) was able to tell us our responsibility ahead of time, to the penny. Please avoid this place if cost is a consideration for you. If it's not, good for you! In that case BFD is a really great dental practice!

He numbed me up--slowly and painlessly! He then loosened the tooth--using a slow, careful rocking notion. When the tooth was completely loosened and unmoored from its dock, like a mussel, he lifted it out--painlessly, and without the drama of my previous extraction! I had no pain last night and I have no pain today! But wait! There's More! Piling on the Potential for Pain and Drama at the Dentist! I also got a crown removed and a temporary crown installed yesterday, on the #3 molar, next door to #2 extraction. This was done before the extraction, to keep the blood and gut potential out of the vacuum, as nature abhors a vacuum!there was the usual loud banging drilling pushing and pulling.then pushing tapping on typewriters ribbon, then more drilling to place the temporary crown that fit perfectly. I thought perhaps it was the anesthesia that kept me from ever feeling the temporary. But no, I don't even notice it today. So that's two potentially very painful dental procedures, done painlessly. As a dental patient, That is everything I could ask for! Dr. Shelton has been my dentist for 30 years. He listens and he is kind and caring. I also think his pricing is very fair and reasonable. Dental care could be, should be less in a just world. But I believe the technology that has made once painful and imprecise dental, painless and perfect is Worth It!
