I just had a horrendous experience. Being uninsured made matters worse. I mentioned this both in the phone call and when I arrived. I went into the appointment expecting an extraction. I brought the crown in simply to show them all the bits and pieces of tooth that came out with it. They were still glued to the bottom of the crown. He took an x-ray which I did not want because of cost. It most definitely should have shown the rot and decay of the tooth. After completion of re-glueing the old one back in, he stated that if it comes off again, it would have to be pulled. Well, after 1 month, it did come off. Prior, there was maybe 50% of the upper part of tooth left. This is what initially told me that it would have to be pulled. Now there is maybe 25% as more of it ripped off when the crown came off again. A very poor decision was made after the x-ray to re-glue. When going to pay, I was furious at the $250 cost of regluing!!! I obviously did not want to fork out that kind of dough for a simple regluing procedure. After today's phone call, he will only reimburse me $125 of that if I have bridge work done which will run in the thousands. Extremely upset as it's hurting now because of very little tooth remaining and having spent all of my 2022 budget. Now I'm searching for a new dentist to pull it out which is what I initially wanted and stated on the phone call and upon arriving at this Fort Madison clinic.

First visit this afternoon and I was thoroughly impressed with the service provided. The dental hygienist was top notch and did wonderful work. She took her time and took care of my teeth. "Thelma" will see me again!
