Dr. Alder gave me two fillings. I agreed to these fillings but it was never discussed before or during the procedure that one of the fillings would be so large that he would have to place it right on the nerve; this resulted in a very painful experience and a root canal and now a crown. Th endodontist who performed the root canal was also surprised that the dentist would not have informed me at the time of the procedure that I would have needed a root canal; as the filling was aparently right on the nerve; the second filling that Dr. Alder placed partially fell out about 7 weeks after placement Needless to say Dr. Alder has done none of the repair work.
