DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!
I had a route canal done at Dr. Hartley's office in 2009. This year, my tooth fractured and the crown fell off. I made an appointment to have the dentist look at the work they did and recommend what to do. When I arrived, I was taken to see Dr. Brian Swanson. He was on his phone texting when I walked into the room. The entire appointment lasted less than 10 minutes, where in he looked at my tooth for around 30 seconds, and taking no x-rays insisted that I needed a $4,000 tooth implant.
Wanting a second opinion, I went to another dentist who took x-rays. He was shocked that Dr. Swanson did not take any x-rays and called it "extremely bad practice." He said that I when the route canal was first done at Dr. Harley's office, a file broke off into my route canal and now I have an infection that is eating away at my bone structure. He said I do not need an expensive implant, but rather a surgery called an apicoectomy to remove the inflamation. I forwarded my xrays to my parent's doctor who said the same as the second, that I have a broken file and was shocked at Dr. Swanson's bad practice and "pushing" of the implant.
Inept dentist and scam artist!
