WORTH IT
I had some yellowing on my front teeth but my teeth are perfect shape. I have professionally bleached my teeth for years but they just got too sensitive to bleach anymore, so I heard about a dentist where I used to live (He has moved to Michigan.) who did cosmetic bonding. I loved it and it made me look like a movie star.
Fast forward, I moved and years go by and I can not get any dentist to do the same procedure where I live now. I spent over $800 two years ago --going to every dentist in town. They wanted to do Veneers. I do not need nor want Veneers. The receptionist at all the dentist offices told me the dentist did cosmetic bonding whitening ---but when I got there, they made me pay for office visits, and some wouldn't see me until I had my teeth cleaned, in which I did, $70....and paid $150 for some X-rays. Every where I went they wanted an office visit fee just to tell me they didn't do bonding for whitening. $100 office visit here and $125 office visit there. One place cost $165 office visit but wanted me to pay $125 for X-rays. I told them I just had some X-rays done but he wanted his own....so I let him but he didn't charge me for the X-rays but I had to pay for an office visit. Only one dentist didn't charge me because he didn't do anything but crowns. I had three small fillings done at one dentist office for $250...but two fell out --and the dentist that did it left-- and the new dentist would not redo them....so.... It is ridiculous having to pay as much as I did and get nothing done but just talking about what they do not do. I got lots of exams but no dental work. Then, was pressured into other options like crowns and Veneers. My teeth are perfectly shaped and do not hurt, so why would I option for something so drastic and fake looking? Money? Well, after spending over $800 and visiting every dentist in town, I'm exhausted. I need to travel to a real cosmetic dentist who does what the receptionist say they do. I felt like I was baited and switched. If anybody knows of any cosmetic dentist in the Dothan, Alabama area....I will travel up to 400 miles. Thank you, and smile! :)

Ok, I traveled and when I got there the receptionish said they tried to call me the previous day to confirm my appointment. They had the wrong number written down. So, here I am and the dentist wants me to come back another day and blames me for giving them the wring phone number. I guess they don't have caller ID on their phones.

I tried and tried to edit my post or delete it and start over. Getting tired of trying to work this website. No spell check, accidentally hit wrong key and it post and you can not get it back. Have to ask a rep for help like we are stupid or lying.

This is the hardest wesite Ive ever tried to use. No place for privacy or to change my phone number.

I'm going to do a You Tube on the next dentist and upload it if the dentist will be OK with that.

I went out of town to a dentist and it was a nightmare. The front desk assistants wrote my number down wrong---- so they over booked the dentist and he wanted me to reschedule. I drove two hours. We got into an argument and he hurt me. I will write about it at another time. I'm so sad right now.

Very limited editing tools on this site. I have to ask to have a pic cropped? Please!!!! If it is someone picture, then they should be able to crop or delete the photo if it makes them feel uncomfortable. I'm felling uncomfortable using this sight. I went to McCoulough Institute in ALABAMA and wrote a big story about the bait and switch but it was never allowed because the Dr in training had the same name as a Dr in Hawaii. Come on.....
