I went to have a cleaning in June & Dr. Wintermantel said I had no cavities and my teeth looked great. When I returned in October he said I had 3 & would need to return to have them filled. I have never been afraid of the dentist so it was no problem. When I went to have them filled-the total time spent there was 3 HRS-FOR 1 CAVITY. It was 1 of the most horrible experiences I've had. It took him 6 tries and 30 min just to get the band to fit between my teeth. I left in tears. I love the staff so much that I returned 2 wks later to give him a second chance to do the other 2. He numbed me, THEN looked at my xrays and said the decay on my tooth was so deep, I would have to go see a root canal specialist. I asked him why this didn't show up at my last cleaning in June?? He ignored my question while fumbling with some papers & walked away. I saw my xrays from June clearly showing I had cavities that could have been fixed with a simple filling. Now due to Dr Wintermantel's complete lack of knowledge for what I would consider basic dentistry-identifying cavities- I will be enduring an expensive root canal. I wouldn't recommend this dentist to my worst enemy!
