Cost:
1st visit, cleaning + full x-rays $200
Quoted me price of $100 per filling for several fillings.
Dr Metri promised high quality work, done by him.
2nd visit, Dr Metri busy. His assistant worked on my composite fillings. Very stressful experience. Pain. Got another shot of novocaine. Inside surface of tooth felt abrasive, he sanded it, still abrasive, he'll fix it next visit.
Charge: $125 per tooth ($25 greater than quoted price).
I concluded that the quality of the assistant dentist was poor. I now refuse to let him work on my teeth. I am now unhappy with this office, I am now ready to pick up my x-rays and find another dentist.
3rd visit, Dr Metri only. Better quality work, no pain. However, when i floss, an adjacent tooth gets hooked and stuck (perhaps he inadvertantly ground a tooth that he was not working on), now i have to get that fixed. Dr Metri polished the abrasive tooth, and did a fine job.
Price charged $125 per tooth ($25 greater than price quoted).
The $25 per tooth overcharge is adding up & not fair.
I feel that work done here is done too fast (see: adjacent tooth damage, above). Gut instinct is: fast patient turnover, for more profit. Result is too fast.
Considering new dentist.
out of 5 stars
