I went here to get an exam and because I was in pain. I had a tooth bugging me.
So, I set up an appointment to have my teeth looked at. I was impressed by the technology they had. The location was close to home & convenient hours were a plus.
I checked in and gave them my insurance info. I thought I saw some drool out of the receptionist's mouth. I have a great employer who offers a buy-up coverage. It's the best dental plan I've ever been on.
They called me in. I went back with the assistant who took x-rays and then I got to see the dentist. Dr. Brown looked at my teeth and told me that she could not save it or the one in front of it. She told me I needed about $8000 worth of work. She said that I needed 2 teeth extracted, 2 bone grafts and have a 4-tooth bridge built. She had me go back to get some more x-rays done, which I found out later they were not needed and if they were, they should have done 4 bite-wings instead of some fancy x-rays my insurance did not cover.
After I left my appointment, I was thinking of how the heck could I come up with that kind of money. I will let my teeth go until I can get the funds together.
Fast forward to February 2018, I was in excruciating pain and my face was swollen. I moved to North Scottsdale so I could not return to Glendale Modern Dentistry. I went to another dentist. He evaluated me. Basically, I needed 1 extraction and a 3-tooth bridge built with 1 bone graft. His price was $2600. My cost was $1350 with insurance. I received a 2nd opinion from him saying that the tooth that was identified by Dr. Brown as needing to be pulled was actually in decent shape. I did not need to have it removed and it serves as an anchor to the bridge I am having put in.
Based on the treatment I got from them vs the dentist I last visited, I would never recommend Glendale Modern Dentistry. The practice was greedy; I should have been move vigilant about the costs. I trusted the estimate as being a true evaluation only to find out that the treatment plans she had recommended were not in my best interest, but to their$.
