out of Read Reviews for Dr. Howard Dunlap
dr. Dunlap did a root canal and place a crown on my upper molar. several years later, after he had retired I began having issues with this tooth. suffered an extreme infection that required to be on antibiotics for over a month.
I went to another dentist and had to have a cat scan on this crown. I was sent to an endodontist for further evaluation. as the endodontist started to drill through my crown she began to find substantial decay because my crown dr Dunlap put on did not fit correctly. this is something I would not have known. came to find out dr Dunlap put a crown on a tooth that had a partial root canal. he never finished the root canal!
the endodontist was shocked as to why he did not complete the root canal before putting a crown on this tooth. this was the cause of a severe infection that spread in throughout my sinus cavities.
unfortunately I had to have this tooth removed and bone graft, this was very expensive,not including the implant expense that I will have to have in a year.

He overlooked some pretty extensive cavities I've obviously had for a while (they didn't hurt so I had no idea since I was getting regular six-month cleanings and check-ups for years). I don't think he was very thorough with his x-ray examination. He was much more concerned with lightening my front tooth than the vital stuff. He was also very rude to me and canceled an appointment I had after I was already sitting in the chair with my mouth prepped. I found it unprofessional, to say the least, and irritating because he apparently found my time much less valuable than his (I'm a cost accountant and I missed work during a really busy time for that canceled appointment). I may be the exception to the rule, but I did not have a good experience with Dr. Dunlap.
I know this doctor: for at least three years.

Since I have been going to Dr. Dunlap, I no longer have a fear of going to the dentist. Becky (receptionist) is always friendly and helpful. Linda, who always cleans my teeth is the sweetest.
The office is always clean and welcoming.
Dr. Dunlap has fixed several of my teeth and also helped fix a mouth guard another dentist made me free of charge. I can honestly say - pain free. He is truly the best!
I highly recommend Dr. Dunlap.

I love him! He was my dentist as a child and now as an adult. He has fixed mistakes that other doctors have created in my mouth. He is always friendly and gentle. Very good christian dentist. His office staff is extremly kind and helpful. They even reccommended other dentist when my insurance changed. All of my teeth are white and he removed all of the silver fillings and replaced them with teeth matching fillings.
