Went here for several years. Every time I visited I was constantly pushed for a consultation to get wisdom teeth out. I was told they were "impacted" and "needed to be removed". Since then, I have seen a jaw specialist, orthodontist, and dentist (all for other reasons but always asked what they thought about my wisdom teeth and showed them X-rays). They have all said that they were perfect and there was no reason whatsoever to remove them. Saying my "wisdom teeth were impacted" is a blatant lie to get a referral fee for an unnecessary treatment. In addition to this, I had a severe tmj flare up and asked for opinion. They said "it's just night grinding" without asking any follow up questions or looking at me. Jaw specialist, chiropractor and orthodontist all said that this was a terrible diagnosis. It turns out that my jaw was dislocated, noticeably crooked, and had limited range of motion. Finally, due to some underlying health conditions, I am more prone to cavities. Even being told by other dentists that they are "inevitable". On my last visit before moving out of state and switching dentists, they told me I had a cavity. Only a few weeks later I got a new dentists where I am living now and it turns out I had 4. No dentist with two eyes and a brain should miss three cavities. Clearly the dentists here are salespeople who care more about selling you unnecessary treatments than providing you with basic care. My only regret is that I must rate one star. If I could, I would rate zero.
