During the preparation of my tooth, Dr. Brugos claimed he needed minimally file down the opposing tooth on the bottom. While doing this, he broke off one section of the tooth, just vacuumed it up, and never said a word about it.
He had quite a bit of difficulty fitting the temprary crown. As soon as I got home it fell off. The gum surrounding the tooth became inflamed. I went back to him a couple of weeks later, my gum was still inflamed and hurting. He did not replace the temporary cown that had fallen off and claimed he could not see any inflamation.
I returned a couple of weeks later for the permanent crown, but it did not fit properly,( he did not say a word about this fact) But instead of just returning to the lab to be reworked, he made multiple adjustment to it, filing most of the procelain off the crown, leaving a very rough surface, and permanently cemented it into my mouth. It was at this time I realiized the condition of the surface of the crown and I was feeling quite a bit of pressure in the tooth. He agreed to replace it.
Within days, my gum was becoming a deeper red and the opposing tooth was aching.
I returned a couple of weeks later to have the new crown placed, but the ill-fitting crown he placed a couple of weeks prior, was cemented using the wrong type of cement and this dentist could not remove the ill-fitting crown without destroying my prepared tooth, including breaking off a piece of my natural tooth to the gum line.
