Dental One Associates of Columbia

Like in all of the reviews I have read on-line.....this NOT THE place TO GO EVER!!!!!!! They are like a factory with see a dentist here, and then move over to another cuticle to see a specialist here and then blah, blah, blah....I am in the middle of an insurance claim against them and we will see how this turns out, and if they don't settle with their insurer, \r CNA Insurance., small claims court is next. They are so unprofessional I can't tell you all I have to say...just read all the reviews on line and stay away as far as you can from this practice...... more

I would not recommend Dental One Associates (Columbia office) to my worst enemy. There is no discerning medical need from the fleecing of your wallet. I went to Dr. Wright several years ago for routine dental work and he convinced me to get a gold overlay for $700 out of pocket (plus insurance) due to the circumstance of a cavity I had. I returned to Dr. Wright this week to get additional cavities filled. To my surprise, he returned with a ?treatment plan? of more than $3K, $2 thousand of which is out of pocket. He was recommending three additional gold overlays for my cavities. I told his assistant I didn?t want additional gold overlays and I only wanted a standard composite filling, which my insurance covers. She returned to tell me Dr. Wright ?doesn?t do? composite fillings and I needed to find a new dentist. Dr. Wright or his assistant should state up front that he is a cosmetic only dentist. There is no medical need for fillings to be gold. The worst part of this is I wasn?t given any other option for treatment. It was as if his ?treatment plan? to have my cavity filled was my only option. The visit was a complete waste of my time, besides who wants a mouth full of gold overlays. It?s ridiculous to think someone wants to fill every cavity in their mouth with GOLD! Pros: null Cons: null more

For people that like a one liner - Don't even think about it, don't go here. These people started doing a deep cleaning when a normal cleaning would do, just to make more money. I just pulled out from this place in the middle of my cleaning(only did half the mouth). When I went to my old dentist, they told me the fact that I didn't need a deep cleaning. Dental One advised me for 2 root canals and gave out of pocket estimate of around $2600, when only one tooth needed root canal. My old dentist gave me an estimate of $75 for the one root canal. The only reason I moved to Dental One was, it is little closer to where I live. But never mind, I have learn't my lesson. Pros: null Cons: null more
