out of Read Reviews for Dr. Robert Goodis
About 18 months ago, Dr. Goodis did my crown. It seemed ok except flossing was not easy and the string would get caught often. So recently, the crown fell out of my mouth including the stem/screw that should keep it secured in the bone of the tooth...
I paid about 3,000 cash and was told there is a guarantee for 5 years on the work. When I go in to get this fixed, DR. ROBERT GOODIS, comes in, I show him the fallen crown. And he doesn't look at it for long, no xray, no questions except open my mouth. After about 1 minutes, he says, its not salvagable and I need the tooth removed. I asked why, he said, there's bone loss in the crown, I looked, saw no bone, only cement and food particles (I will attach a photo). There is no bone loss, just the cement and food particles. (I got a second opinion and was told there is no bone loss in the crown and its certainly a salvageable scenario)
His conclusion, after no xrays, no major questions (hes also an owner i hear...), was, "you need to remove the entire tooth, there's bone loss in the crown." There was NO bone loss in the crown, at all (see the picture, no bone what soever).

I have been coming there for a long time- but only had my teeth cleaned and two very minor fillings. So when my boyfriend who has alot of dental work to be done needed insurance i looked for insurance that Lakewood dental arts would accept. After going there the first time he got lidocaine which he didnt want but the dr insisted he left with his face black/blue and swallen. The next time he refused the lidocaine and the doctor gave it to him anyways. Then one of the fillings must have a pocket where air is coming in and he is now in pain like air is hitting the nerve(no pain before the filling) he went back to explain and asked for a different doctor. The doctor wouldnt listen to anything he said handed him a perscription for penicillian- there is no infection the tooth needs to be examined and possible filled in better!
About Hygienist: She didnt know how to take x-rays, didnt know the tools the doctor asked for- and even dropped a metal tool in his mouth hitting his teeth and never said anything.
