1 /5 Bunnie Knox: I went to this dentist years ago with an emergency chipped tooth, and they were initially fantastic and helpful. As I became a regular patient however, things went drastically downhill. The dental assistant was constantly berating me for my tongue piercing, as opposed to politely informing me of the risks (which I am aware of). She also was doing a scan of my teeth after a procedure which had me in tears due to the pressure on my jaw. They also wanted me to pay for a copy of my own scan which was covered. When I saw an oral surgeon for my jaw pain as it had been an ongoing issue for years, he stated my misshapen jaw joint was likely due to “excess estrogen” after making me wait an hour in office for his arrival. I had two impacted wisdom teeth with infection, and two damaged molars removed from that side of my face, and no other dentist or surgeon I’ve seen has found “excess estrogen” to be even remotely scientifically accurate. This was the final straw. When I found a new dentist, they informed me my fillings were deteriorating - an issue I’d been aware of prior to moving in state and informed the dentist at Renton Arts, however they told me my fillings were fine. I ended up needing a root canal due to the damage they ignored. They consistently dismissed my pain or discomfort, as well as the recommendations of my previous dentist, to focus on “making my smile beautiful.” To me, braces would be a chance for healthier teeth, I’m fine with my appearance. I am still dealing with the repercussions of the dismissal I received at this dentist. If you have any legitimate dental problems, I would not recommend.
