My dear friend is a dentist up north. I went to Dr Lehninger. She proposed $30,000 worth of dental work. Mind you I already have a number of crown and bridges. I took the estimate up north. $3,000 later the work was done by a phi beta kappa , mensa dentist.

Used for about 2 years. Left side of mouth always inflamed. While installing a loose cap, a newer cap was nicked by Dr. Lehninger. This caused constant pain. When I asked them to do the right thing and pay to replace the cap, I was told by "that's not how things work". There are great dentists in Venice. The left side of my mouth no longer hurts and I can eat normally.
