I scheduled appointment for the whole family. Yes, they were courteous. But, after cleanings and x-rays...I was told two of my teeth were in dire need to be pulled and replaced with implants! Mind you, I was shocked as I never had any severe problems with my teeth at 42 years old. I felt they rushed to the extreme. I told them #1- implants are costly, #2-This is the first I've had such a bad diagnosis on my teeth. So...they suggested the very minimum two root canals must be done or I will lose my teeth due to infection. I've never had a root canal. I was very nervous but went ahead and scheduled it. After all, they're the professionals right? Well throughout the entire time I had awful anxiety and doubt. Then a blessing came in disguise..., my new dental plan was effective January 2014. Allay Dental submitted their pre-authorization and approval request to the insurance only to find out with the change in plans, they could not provide me with the services because they were not a participant of the new plan. I had mixed feelings because they made me think the worst could happen if I don't get this taken care of. Now I had to find a new dentist on my new provider list. Thank God I did! ABC Dental reevaluated my teeth. I didn't tell my new dentist any of what Allay Dental suggested.
I only needed a deep root planing and scaling procedure and had only ONE cavity to fill. No other issues!
Not happy I had to be so stressed out and almost lost 2 of my natural teeth due to Allay Dental's inaccurate evaluation (whether deliberate or not, I don't know). Very suspicious and I hope no other patients lost natural teeth needlessly.
Thanks to ABC Dental my gums look healthy and my teeth look great! And, it was all painless! And, I didn't have to empty out my bank account.
