Before I go into my experience I want to tell you that I have since been to a different dentist for a second opinion. The experience I had at Cornerstar was startling because they were trying to tell me my mouth was jacked up and I needed thousands of dollars worth of root canals and crowns. My new dentist let me know that my gums are healthy. My teeth do not need root canals so I don't need crowns. I do need fillings and I found out I brush too hard, but root canals are not needed for me. My teeth look and feel fine other than the fillings I need. So don't try to tell me I'm blaming this place because I don't care for my teeth and I'm in denial. That's not what this is. I wouldn't bother posting such a negative review if I hadn't received the second opinion. After doing that I discovered how downright awful Cornerstar really is and I feel others who are looking for HONEST dentists need to know what to expect from them.
The dentist who did my check-up and cleaning was rude and extremely rough. I don't use ""extremely"" lightly when I say this. It felt like she was shredding my gums apart. It was the most painful cleaning I have ever had in my life. She commented to me how much my gums were bleeding and how messed up my gums and teeth are. She would not get me anything to spit in either. The dental assistant (who was actually nice by the way) gave me something to spit into after the cleaning was over and seemed to be apologetic about the way the dentist was acting. The dentist mentioned nothing of preventative care or anything else about my teeth other than root canals and crowns. I believe she told me I needed 3 or 4 of them. I apologize, but I do not remember this woman dentists name and it doesn't appear they have her listed on their website anymore so perhaps she has left or been fired. I just know she wouldn't stop talking about very personal stuff about her husband, she loved Twilight, and something about her being christian. I learned more about her life than I did about what was going on with my teeth (and my throbbing, hurt gums after the cleaning.) She did some other stuff that was unprofessional like leaving stuff in my mouth (true story) and leaving floss between my teeth while leaving the room mumbling something about my teeth being too tight for her to finish flossing them. I mean, I could have flossed them myself. And I did because she didn't end up coming back for like 10 minutes. The whole experience was just painful and weird. (Edit: I'm pretty sure her name was Jennifer Parker.)
Either way it wasn't just her that put me off. The dental group itself wants your money. I have since switched to the better, honest dentist I wrote about earlier.
Basically, this Cornerstar place lied to me and were willing to do unnecessary procedures on my teeth in order to bulk up their wallets. That's kind of scary, people! My advice is to run away and find a real dentist who is honest and good at what they do. If you carry Delta Dental like me and you are near this area you probably see a bunch of Cornerstar listings. Ignore them. I ended up going to a practice a minute down the road next to the medical plaza with the ER and the helipad. His name is Sere S. Myers. He's honest with you and won't try to sell you on stuff you don't need. I recommend him because he's awesome and only a minute or two more down the road, but if not him then please go anywhere except for Cornerstar Dental. They come across as scam artists to me and from the looks of it several other people who have reviewed them feel similar as well.
