Dr. Schope is into the latest technology and the office runs VERY smoothly - there is even a room with an "in-flight movie" option for people having crowns done and so forth. People are always offering you bottled water or explaining exactly what is going on, and you can see the images they take up on a screen facing you as you sit. Very interesting!
The only two negatives are that 1) the big procedures are *all* above the 95th %ile of cost-for-service for this area and so not very well-covered by any dental plan, and that 2) if there is a lot of work to be done, you may find yourself out $1,500 or more (in additino to what your insurance paid) without a single *permanent* fix to any of the affected teeth. I'm sure that eventually I will get permanent fixes to these teeth, but she keeps starting a new tooth rather than putting the permanent fix in on the last one she started to repair. This leaves me very frustrated and still in some discomfort, although she's explained that she wants to treat the whole mouth at once. It also makes it less likely that a patient will go to another dentist, since so much has already been spent and everything is half-done. Avoid the $85 electric toothbrush, the $30 mouth rinses & the night guard.
