| - My Short Review.
I went here for their $19 new patient special. I was told I had 3 cavaties and a cracked tooth (which required a crown). I had x-rays, photos, a cleaning and a check up by the dentist. I was handed an estimate for almost $1,500 and asked to schedule an appointment. I was confused and I told them that I would "let them know." I freaked out (which I never do) and drove home. I thought about it and called my last dentist to schedule a "second opinion" consultation. My dentist confirmed that I do not have 3 cavaties, but I do have a cracked tooth (it does not require a crown, it may down the road require an overlay or crown, but he would like to watch it for now). Overall, I give this office 2 stars because the hygeniest was pushy during my cleaning; she suggested several times that I needed a "deep cleaning" (my other dentist told me I do not need a deep cleaning). She was also a little insulting towards my oral hygiene (I have used a Sonicare since I was in 8th grade)
I will be fair and state my dentist did say, "I can see what he's seeing" and he showed me what possibly resembled a cavity, BUT he said they were not in need of a filling and getting one would only "weaken the tooth." I was also disappointed to come on to Yelp and read that two others who visited this practice were told THE EXACT SAME THING (3 cavaties and a crown). Lastly, it was troubling that there are several signs that read "give us a 5 star review on Yelp, Facebook, Google, etc and get a $5 Starbucks card (you had to leave two, 5-star reviews on different sites).
Overall, is this a bad dentist? I don't know. I would not recommend this dentist based on my experience. If you need a cleaning, you're new in town and only have $19 to spend then it makes sense, BUT you have to get a second opinion prior to having any type of dental work done in this office because he's overly aggressive in his recommendations.
