Just to let everybody know , this is a So Called Dentist that you really want to stay away from. I thought that they where doing me favors as I was dealing with them over my dentures, only to find out that they were being very sneaky about everything. I had my teeth removed , and Immediate Dentures put in. As the swelling changed in my mouth I had to go back in for what was called Soft Reline. I have no control over how the swelling went in my mouth so I was in his office about every 2nd to 3rd week with very sore spots, and had to have them re-lined. After my visit to have this done, I would go to the front desk and ask how much it would be to pay, and was told that there was no charge as this was covered under the cost of my complete dentures , and that was over $3000.00. After about 3 or 4 visits I was told by the dentist that he wanted me to by a box of Reline Material from them and start doing it at home my self, as the dentist couldn't keep seeing me at No Cost. So I bought the Material ( it cost over $90.00). After the swelling finally went down it took about 6 mths or a bit more I was ready to have a Hard Line done. This is a more permanent procedure and could last for years if taken care of properly. I do have really good Dental Insurance through GWL( Great West Life) and all billing was done direct through them. All pricing was given to me by his Receptionist, and I was told that the Lab Fees for the Hard line were $274.00 and the Dentist fees were $200.00.. So the bill was sent of to Insurance, with Coding on it ( 999999 ). Coding is how they determine the pricing. After waiting for weeks and herd nothing from the insurance we called. We were told that the code used was invalid with GWL, and the receptionist would have to do a Break Down on the work done. So the Break Down was done and there was new coding given to work, and now the price was at $883.00. Yes it doubled from changing a couple numbers, and when I pursued them about this, I was told directly from the Receptionist, but Greg there was 6 or 7 visits here where you didnt pay anything, and yes there was with the understanding that they where covered under the complete cost of the dentures. At this point my Blood Presure went through the roof. How can I be quoted 1 price and billed another price, I see how, they wanted to get some money back from the visits that they told me there was no charge.
My health is not good at all, but if it was better, I would be fighting this through Claims Court, but I don't have it in me to pursue it any farther. I just want people to see what has been done here, so they do not fall victim to the same thing that I have. Find another Dentist , as this one is a Wolf in a Lambs costume.
