I purchased a deal through Amazon for x-rays, an exam & cleaning at Supremia Dentistry. What seemed like an excessive amount of x-rays and pictures were taken which were very uncomfortable (apparently b/c I have a small mouth but I've never had an issue before). The assistant kept apologizing b/c she knew it was hurting yet didn't try to do anything differently. Then came the scare tactics. They told me things like, not to blow on my kid's food to cool it off b/c I would be transferring bacteria from my mouth to theirs which would cause them to get cavities. Come on, is that practical? And when I told them I mostly drink 100% fruit juice they said to throw it out b/c it's garbage! They might have stoned me if I had said soda. They also made a big deal about me having teeth extracted before I had braces put on in my teens & said that process is ""old school"". It was 15+ yrs ago! I have an uncomplicated dental history so you can imagine my surprise when Dr Suh 'threatened' that if I didn't make some changes & do something about my mouth I could expect to add a few zeros to my bill. The dentist never even looked in my mouth! I had to schedule an appointment 2 weeks later to get his findings after he'd had time to review my x-rays & the Hygienists notes. That appointment was with the Business Coordinator who informed me I have $3000 in cavities (that weren't there 9 months earlier when I had my teeth cleaned by another dentist). I did briefly talk to Dr Suh at that appointment. He was friendly but did a lot of boasting and knocking down of other dentists. Staff was friendly and I did get my teeth cleaned but I'm getting a second opinion on the work that needs to be done b/c I don't trust them.
