I went to Dr. Rothwells office for about five years, and overall, I was fairly happy with the service, with one exception, which I will discuss below. A couple of points - it is a fairly large and busy office, so most of the service I had was done by dental assistants. Teeth cleanings were done very well, and Dr. Rothwell was always available to come in and review what they found. The office is very pleasant and clean, and the office staff are pleasant and competent.
The only issue I would raise is the following: I had a number of the new type of epoxy fillings done there, all of which went smoothly during the actual procedure. However, I have had issues with fairly large gaps between a couple of molars where these fillings were done, resulting in food being caught between those teeth, and have had consequent decay on the edges of those teeth now. I mentioned this to someone at the office, and was told that this can be an issue with epoxy fillings - that they are harder to form than the old mercury amalgam fillings. I would have been ok with that explanation, if they had fixed them, but it became clear to me that I was going to pay for revising them, which I am not sure is entirely fair.
