Terrible experience. My appointment was 4 a cleaning. At the appt they took pictures & the dr said I had 2 old fillers that she thought I should replace to AVOID a cavity. Then said “I have an appt @ 6 so schedule cleaning for another day.” Second appointment. The dentist starts drilling in my top&bottom tooth. The bottom wasn’t an area she showed b4. I stopped & asked wht she’s doing. She said she’s doing 4 fillers bc I had multiple cavities. I askd her 2 show me bc this is different than wht I was told & last appt she said I had 2 old fillers & no cavities. I askd “cavities form in a couple days?” She said yes. I told her to stop & just do the cleaning, she got mad abt it & left for 30 m w/o saying anything. I went to the front & askd if they were still doing the cleaning. The dentist stormed in & raised my chair. STOOD OVER ME & stabs my gums w the cleaning scraper; trying to rush the service bc of her attitude. After 2 stabs, I said nvm & left. 4 more details see my google review.
