Had a bridge completed by Dr. Kern at the St. Barnabus Medical Center which consisted of 3 front teeth. Less than a year later, my x-ray showed tooth decay under my bridge.
My current dentist said it was due to a poorly fitted bridge (gaps) which caused the tooth decay. Now I have to have the Bridge removed and redone for an out-of- my pocket cost of over $2000.00. I went to an implant specialist who reported back to Dr. Kern and made special note of a tooth which required a filling - Dr. Kern never addressed this issue. It was a year later, when I obtained a copy of my medical records that I found out about this tooth was ignored by Dr. Kern at the St Barnabus Medical Center. Possibly he was waiting to Cap this tooth instead of a filling it?
"Would I recommend this dentist to others" NO I personally would not recommend Dr. Kern at the St. Barnabus Medical Center because I feel I received inadequate care.
About Front Desk: Didn't get my message across to the Dentist when I asked several times for an extra visit to get a partial denture for the tooth that was pulled.
