BEWARE OF THIS DENTAL OFFICE! I saw their ad on the front page of Penny Saver and they advertised ""Free 1 Hour Teeth Whitening"" for new patients. I thought it was a great deal and went in for dental cleaning & exam. They told me to arrive 15 minutes early on my first visit and I did. After initial paperwork they seated me in a patient chair. I ended up waiting 45 minutes before I was seen by a dentist.\r

They told me I had to get 2 fillings and a new crown. I routinely see the dentist 2x a year and my previous dentist did not tell me I had any cavities. So I was suspicious about their recommendations. I agreed to the 2 fillings and came back for a second visit. This time I waited for an hour before the dentist worked on me. It turns out this office takes patients with no insurance and gives them priority because they pay cash. After the fillings I scheduled for my free tooth whitening.\r

On my last visit I waited 30 minutes. The dentist looked at my chart and told me I had to get the crown before my tooth whitening procedure could be performed. The reason he gave me was my tooth was so damaged the tooth whitening would not work on it. Therefore I will have a visibly stained tooth that stands out after the whitening. Innocently, I believed him and spent $500 on an expensive crown. I was forced to reschedule my whitening appt due to this. On my last visit they finally whitened my teeth. However, the technicial did not use good products because my teeth does not look any different. I think their advertisement is a way for them to bring patients in so they can recommend unnecessary procedures to offset the cost of their free whitening. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT I'VE MADE!!!
