Review content:
This place is a rip-off. I have a dental HMO through work and my old dentist is not on the list of preferred providers. I think the reason that they accept HMO dental insurance is because they know how to game the insurance system and over-charge the client.
I got a deep-cleaning (planing and scaling) and 2 fillings.
My insurance coverage says that deep cleaning is 100% covered and fillings have a deductible anywhere from $20-$75 depending on the material/location.
Instead of it costing $40-$150 they charged me $1200.
They game the HMO plan in 2 ways. First, they charged $600 for irrigation (this is a part of the deep cleaning process that they know is not covered so they charge a lot more than other dentists for it). My previous dentist charged less than $600 for deep cleaning + irrigation even without insurance.
They also charged $600 for the two fillings. Apparently, when they had me sign the 5 page consent form, it says that instead of composite fillings the signer elects to use veneers. I called later and they said they do not do composite fillings...so I didn't have much of a choice. They know that the insurance covers fillings and not veneers, so they do veneers instead of fillings to get around it.
They didn't do anything illegal but they are definitely not acting in the best interest of the client and I will not be going back.
