Dr. Lane put a crown on my back tooth Nov. 2007. It fell off the first time about 1 to 1 1/2 yrs later. She put it back on and then tried to bill my ins. co.!!!!! I told her that I thought SHE should stand behind her work and that I was changing dentists because of it. The ins. co. of course denied her claim. Well, it fell off again Aug. 2011. I had my REAL dentist recement it but she said I needed a new crown because this one had a HOLE in it where it either rubbed against the upper crown (that she put in) or was ground down too far when she recemented it to fit. My dentist said it was a poorly fitted crown to begin with and was filled with glue to make it fit. My dentist is sending pictures to my ins. co. so they can demand a refund for a bad job. She gave me pictures to take to Dr. Lane so I could also ask to be reimbursed for my portion of the work. She denied reimbursement. There was no decay under the crown to cause it to fall off. It was just a crappy job!!!! Ins. cos. do not pay to have a crown replaced after 4 yrs. All of my crowns done by other dentists have lasted at least 15 yrs or more. DO NOT USE THIS DENTIST IF NEED CROWNS!! She does not stand behind her work and3 yrs 9 mos. is not acceptable for the life of a crown
out of 5 stars
