Incompetent! Went for a cleaning and to have a crown that had fallen out glued back in...The office was cramped and dreary...First, the cleaning...left the back of my bottom teeth completely rough and chipped an area between my teeth - when I asked him to smooth it out, he failed to do so and I had to come back at a later date for him to try again...still not a very good job...Next, gluing back in my crown...after gluing back in the crown, it was set to high...I asked him to try and file it down and he filed it so low that he took off the porcelain, leaving a large black area of the crown exposed...I also noticed that he had cemented it in a such a way that there was no longer any space between that tooth and the one behind it, so I could no longer floss...When I advised him of this after the fact, he told me to try a different type of dental floss in order to try and make up for his shoddy work....A few weeks later the crown cracked and now I have to find another dentist to create a… whole new crown... I had found him thru my dental insurance called healthplex...another horror show in and of itself...I find that these kind of plans bring in the most incompetent dentists in the field...Not sure where this guy got his license to practice, but my advise is to stay away...far away!!!
