I was referred to this dental location by another dentist - he said they'd take care of my broken tooth. All I wanted is to extract a broken tooth. I went there at about 11:30am on a Saturday and came out at about 2:30pm. They were not supposed to be my main dentists, but I was given a full mouth 'diagnosis', extremely painful full mouth x-ray, was told that the broken tooth needed antibiotics before extraction, and was advised to have teeth cleaning. They started teeth cleaning on the ""healthy"" left side of my mouth, skipped a few teeth which needed work, have irrigation and stopped. The bill $271 paid by credit card, and some $450 charged to my insurance. Basically, a total of around $600 for half dental cleaning, full mouth x-ray I did not need, and diagnosis which said nothing that I did not know already with my other dentist. I called and cancelled my appointment to clean the other half of my teeth, and forget about extracting my tooth which broke off anyways exactly one week later. I was STRONGLY advised to complete my teeth cleaning as I was told that it invalidates the cleaning work done already on my left-side teeth. The remaining teeth which need cleaning will pass bacteria to the left hand side I was told over and over. One more reason why I refused to go back as I was not aware that bacteria got so smart to wait one full week before it starts transmitting itself onto the other side of the mouth.
