Hokey dentist!!! I just moved here and had to find a new dentist after having my last one for the last 6 years so I thought I'd give Aspen Dental (by Arcadia area) a try. I've had zero cavities/fillings in my life and my past dentist/hygienist have always complimented my teeth and how healthy they are. And I pride myself in always going in religiously every six months for a cleaning. After meeting with Dr. David Sung he informed me that I "must've had a filling fall out on a back tooth and now I have a cavity that needs to be filled." He didn't show me or pull up anything on the X-rays to prove it OR even ask me if that was correct. All the while I'm thinking "I've never had a cavity/filling in the last 30 years of going to the dentist??" Without any further explanation/proof I was whisked away to the billing gal and her office (which I've never seen/heard of in a dentist office) to go over the several options for billing/costs based on what my insurance may it may not cover. I've had friends see bad dentists that are trying to put extra cash in their pocket by creating issues such as this said "filling/cavity" that needed to be taken care of. After they've followed the dentists recommendation they've had nothing but problems with the filling the dentist put in. Funny how that works huh? The dentist sure doesn't pay for all that work...we do. Needless to say I asked for my X-rays and found a new dentist (Dr. Russell T. Taylor) and guess what...he said "I don't see any concerns with your teeth at all, nothing a little cleaning won't take care of. Your teeth look great/heathy!" An "honest" dentist goes a long way in my book AND my pocket book!! If this dentist at Aspen says you need dental work I would highly recommend getting a second opinion! And guess what, those are FREE!
