9 months ago, I went to Dr. Litwin for a cracked crown. During the initial consultation, she informed me that I've been ruining my dental work over the year by grinding my teeth at night. She suggested various procedures including a night guard costing $4222 in total, and I figured I should "do it right" by following through. She offered a 10% off incentive if I paid in full, and I'm responsible for tracking down the reimbursement from my insurance. Anyway, I had to visit her office a dozen of times to work on the crown because the temporary crown kept cracking (at one point I was only eating steamed brussels spouts) and the permanent crown wasn't properly made. She blamed the Lab for the mistake. After several impressions and fittings over a few visits, the crown STILL doesn't fit. There is a step between it and the surrounding molar. On top of that, her hygienist noticed a potential cavity in an area she worked on, and that area is now sensitive to cold and heat. That broke the camels back, and decided not to go back. I walked in with a broken crown and walked out with more problems. She meant well, but I think it's best not to perform any unnecessary procedures and focus ONLY on the "problem" areas.
