Avoid this dentist at all cost. I was going here for years (despite never being able to get appointments when needed, the dentist always cancelling my appointments, the surgery always being closed, etc. but it was local so I put up with it, despite my reservations). Fast forward to 6 months ago, I finally had enough and went elsewhere where I was told I had severe periodontal disease including bone loss and loose teeth. I knew I had a problem but as far as I was aware it was under control with this dentist. However, it appears not! I've now been referred to a periodontist and it's going to take years and possible surgery to correct the problem. This dentist did not pick up on this. The dentist never took a single x-ray, they never even discussed "deep cleaning", as far as the dentist was concerned, just a simple clean would suffice. Not true! The bacteria underneath the gum line is impossible to remove with just a simple clean. And now my mouth is ruined and I have to pay the price for their shoddy work. I am seriously fuming, I have spent years unwittingly letting this disease worsen, losing bone in my jaw (I may even now have to lose teeth because of it), all the while thinking because I was seeing a dentist regularly, everything was ok. How wrong was I?!
