I went in because I had a tooth bothering me. She said there was decay and I needed a root canal. When I went to the specialist to get the root canal, he said there was no decay, but I told him go ahead and do it. The specialist did a great job. However, I had to go back to Dr. Sales for the crown. I had to wait extra long because they had to make the crown twice. They didn't even ask what color I wanted it, and they didn't match it to my teeth so the first crown was very yellow compared to my real teeth. When I mentioned that, they tried to excuse it that it was a back tooth and no one will see the color difference. I told them to redo it to match. Then when she put it in, she was supposed to use temporary cement. She used permanent cement. And she did such a poor job of the fitting that it has aggravated the surrounding gums and resulted in a deep pocket. I had another dentist look at it and he said I have good hygiene, that it is only that one tooth, which looked like the problems were caused by food getting stuck under the crown. I had to have the other dentist redo it, and had to shell out another few hundred dollars for a new crown.
