| - I am new to Vegas, am a retiree, just moved early this year and currently splitting my time between here and good old New Jersey. Last week, one of my crowns came off, dang! but I figured since I see a dentist office every other block in Vegas, finding one that can re-cement the crown would be easy. Wrong!
I had to go to several and most were pushing for expensive treatments like replacing the whole crown and post for thousands of dollars!! All I needed was a simple re-cement procedure , god dang it!
The hall of shame topnotcher is this place called Montecito Dental and Orthodontics right by Durango. I scheduled an appointment, dropped by, they did an x-ray, had this dentist come in saying that there is no way he can re-cement the crown back, says it might fall out, i might swallow the crown, he might get sued, he can't risk it, yada yada yada ... so he recommends re-building the base of the tooth plus new post plus new crown for the bargain basement price of only $2,000 + , payable in installments of course. Jesus Christ! I ran in the opposite direction, paid the $59 consult fee, so I basically got nothing for the money plus totally wasted my time. So why did I bother trying this place you ask? It had decent reviews from fellow yelpers and it was 5 minutes away from my place. Bad move. I eventually found an honest dentist in Summerlin and paid $65 to fix my problem. Whew!
