I good dentist will give bottom line answers and not give patients something they did not ask for or something that is not functional. A good dentist wants to see his/her patients mouth become healthier so the only thing left is maintenance. Yet my experience was with a lying deceptive practice all about money and still about money even though they knew they gave me something they should not have and the kicker, charged me before service began or before it was complete. Bad Bad Bad and dishonorable. I have to say it is appalling that good dentist should be made to keep quite about shoddy work of those less honorable in the dental profession.

Most refuse to say that the work of another dentist wasn't done properly, and few will give real solutions to correct the bad dental work. Instead, they mouse around and want you to spend more money (thousands of dollars) to grind down your permanent teeth with veneers. It is frustrating to know that you put your confidence in a "Professional" who turned out to be a "CON." I dont advise anyone to have Orthodontic work (braces) or cosmetic work unless it is absolutely necessary. In my case; I was promised that I would have the best smile, etc., etc. None of it happened. I spent thousands for nothing. My teeth were broken and damaged during the process. I now have wires in my mouth for the rest of my life to hold together bad dental work. Please seek out as many dentists as you can to find the right fit for you. If they are not listening to your concerns before the procedure begin, they will not listen later. Move on to someone who listens and who you feel comfortable with. Also look at their office staff to make sure they are qualified. Title's behind a name doesnt mean you that will receive quality work. Sadly, dentistry is about the almighty dollar$. It is not about quality care and the patient's needs anymore.

I think the survey shows the moral attitude of most dentist... me me me me ... is more important than their patient. I have had BAD dental work done and didn't know it. It takes a very special dentist to find a way to tell you... so he isn't in trouble with the law. But bad dental work does affect YOU. I hate 99.9% of dentist.... for reasons my last dentist could totally understand. On my web site even talks about a particular crook... dentist. He is EVIL. This hurts every dentist. So when you support your fellow bad dentist...that makes you just as guilty. and you can post my web and email I would like to post some of your comments on my web site.
