I have known himm for as long as it took to get a crown- you would think not so long, but you'd be wrong. It took three tries! The first- he did not put in enough cement, then left the office without looking at the xray. They called me back and explained that I would need to use mouthwash a lot, or I could have it replaced. On the second try, again, too little cement, so he tried to squirt in extra afterwards. This crown was much too small, leaving gum exposed between the molars. On the third try, he finally got it right, but not without extra pain as he did not believe me when I said I was no longer numb. I would not reccommend this dentist.
