I initially visited this dental clinic for a minor issue, a shallow crack in my molar. The dentist recommended grinding down the tooth and placing a crown, which I trusted was the right course of action. Unfortunately, this decision has led to far worse problems.
During the crown installation, the dentist struggled to fit it correctly. Instead of addressing the issue properly, she ground down the opposing tooth as well, leaving me with persistent pain in both teeth. Worse still, the crown placement was clearly off, as I couldn't bite properly. The teeth on the opposite side of my mouth could not even touch. Despite this, the dentist insisted the crown was perfectly fitted.
When the dentist realised she had ground too much off the opposing tooth, she applied some fillers to it, but those fillers fell off after just two hours.
I returned the next day due to discomfort, and thankfully, another dentist adjusted the crown free of charge. This is the only reason I am giving two stars instead of one.
Now, nearly two months later, I still cannot eat anything harder than pasta without experiencing severe pain. What started as a small crack has escalated into a major issue, and now the dentist is suggesting a root canal for the same tooth. If that fails, what next? Extraction and an implant? It feels like a never-ending cycle that could have been avoided in the first place.
I cannot help but feel like I was pushed into unnecessary treatment that has only made my situation worse. Be cautious before agreeing to major dental work here.
### Update (6+ months later) ###
The situation has only become worse. The molar with the crown still hurts whenever I bite, and since the crown does not fit properly, not only the opposing molar but also the molars on the other side of my mouth have been worn down and have become sensitive. Before getting this crown, I could still eat on one side of my mouth, but now I can only manage soft food, like a grandma.
I used to be very proud of my teeth and I love eating. Choosing to have this crown fitted at Confidential Dental Practice, while paying the highest fees in my region, has been a terrible mistake. It has quite literally ruined my life.
Please think very carefully before deciding to go to this clinic.
