My general dentists Dr. Thomas L. Carroll (now retired) and Dr. GeorgeAndrews recommended that I see Dr. Braswell for crown elongation due to an uneven, gummy smile (their words.) I did not know that I had an issue with this other than they, over the course of 7 years,mentioned that I needed to have this cosmetic procedure. I finally caved and was charged $250 for a consult and $3000 for gum lasering by Dr. Braswell. The procedure did not work as the gums grew back. I then went in for the *touch op* that she touted would be *free* at which point she said, "I knew you would not be happy and you need 2 to 8 veneers at $1500 per veneer." WTF? She also said I need to see an orthodontist (again) for a dropped front tooth. I got my retainer from the ortho and was told I then needed braces (Dr. Dunwoody had already unsuccessfully put braces on me as a teen. He did not explain why the need for them again!) My gums then receded in an area that had no issues prior and Dr. B wanted to charge me more money for a perio root and scale. My dentists since (I now live in Beverly Hills) were appalled at my need to all these procedures. Evidently I have sucker written on my face. Please avoid these dentists at all costs and find true professionals.
