I am a former patient.I needed ALL my teeth fixed.I knew it would be a very expensive and stressful.I needed periodontal treatment.I went to an excellent periodontist.I had surgery including two extractions and one gingival graft.My periodontist told me that a good dentist allways checks your teeth and gums every time you visit.On9/7/05 I paid $13,908.60 for my upper teeth.On3/14/06 I paid $10,615.50 for my lower teeth.Every 3 months I went back for cleaning Dr.Boales rarely looked at them.I knew I had that past periodontal problem to watch out for.On 2/7/12 I went in for my cleaning.My hygienist noticed my gums needed attention. They referred me to a new periodontist.I liked my old guy,so I went there instead.On3/20/12 I found out that I needed more then a routine touch-up and cleaning.My gums needed some serious treatment that could have been prevented.Now I am looking forward to some new expensive gum repairs.I don't trust Dr.Boales.There wasn't any more MONEY in it for him.
