I was quoted by my previous Dentist $2700 to replace a crown with an abutment of an implant he had done five years ago. In the same timeframe, I broke another tooth which needed a crown for 2400, I saw an advertisement for Smile Mission at $800 a crown, hesitant, the price was too good, but I made an appointment; I'm glad I did. I don't impress easy and I was very impressed at the attention Dr Mark gave me and with his knowledge. My previous dentist missed why the second tooth broke because they only have 2D x-rays (had he caught it ahead of time the truth would not have broken). Smile Mission has 3-D and was able to see the broken tooth filling from a long time ago by my gum had decay. It took him some time to work on it to save the tooth, another Dentist probably would've just pulled it and I would've had to get an implant.
He has quite a few assistants, which do a majority of the work, scanning your mouth, etc., younger, appears although I don't know possible Dentist in training, and like nurse practitioners appeared to give better help sometimes than doctors themselves.
Dr Mark was awesome. Explaining to me about medications my primary care physician has prescribed, but I haven't started taking; this medication would have affected my dental care if not now, but in the future. Obviously, with these prices, he's very busy and I thought about not leaving a review because I really don't want him busier, but I am grateful for the time he spent explaining things to me that my primary care physician should have done.
My wait was not long after my appointment and they have massage chairs in the waiting room. The office staff was polite. read more
