| - SCAM ARTISTS, plain and simple. The folks that run this place are cashing in on people who trust their white lab coats. Stay far away from here and Illini Dental, Creative Smiles, Dentistry by Design, Affordable Dentistry Today, Baytowne, and Hessel Park Dentistry - all owned and run by the same guy
I went for a preventive cleaning - the hygienist goes through the normal routine, and then calls in an assistant. They both poke around and make concerned noises, and tell me that I REALLY need to get a deep-clean root planing. I have never heard of this. They call in the dentist, who says Absolutely, you have to have this done immediately or you're looking at a root canal within a year.
I ask how much this will cost me, they say "Oh, only $1000 or so." They also try to sell me on veneers and a $300 bite guard because I grind my teeth. I say I can't afford any of that, so I am whisked straight from the chair, into a small office and onto the phone with Capitol One's Medical Loan people. They also still tried to sneak the veneers and bite guard onto my "treatment plan."
Long story short, this VERY painful procedure was completely unnecessary, and they do it only to make money, since no insurance covers it. The wonderful dentist I see now says they've heard about CDG pulling this all the time, and it's just a matter of time until they get sued for it.
