After a year and a half of living in horrible pain, I decided it was time to make this review. Am I upset? Yes. I paid over $5,000 for a bridge to be installed in my mouth, that has been a constant pain in my mouth, and my wallet. The first thing I felt that was odd, was that this practice requires you join the club in order to receive discounted pricing on the services. Once you join the club, you receive 2 cleanings for the year, and a small discount on all other procedures. The trouble started right from the start. The temporary bridge would not stay in place. It kept falling out causing me terrible pain. My father passed away, and I had to make an emergency trip out of state. The temporary again fell out on the plane, and it was incredibly painful. Upon my return, I again returned to the office, where he glued it again into place. During all this, I also had to have more teeth filled, which meant another $1,500+. His work on those teeth seem to be just fine. The permanent bridge was installed finally, and that's when the real problems began. I returned to the office several times to have adjustments made. Nothing helped. The pain continued. On the my last visit, they tried to charge me for a bite adjustment. That was it for me. Even though they still owed me another cleaning, I would not go back. Dr Baldwin would not listen to my complaints about the bridge feeling wrong, and blamed it on my other teeth above it. He saw my teeth on the very first visit. If it was beyond his scope, he should have said so. I found him to be very dismissive and not concerned at all about my pain. The pain had gotten so bad, I was crying every day. I finally ended up at a really caring, and talented dentist who sent me to get a couple of root canals on the anchoring teeth. Another $3,600 gone. The root canals helped, but the bridge still doesn't feel right and it hurts all day, every day. Now, I have to pay out even more money, and have this bridge ripped out, and start all over. Just take that $5,000 and burn it, because it's the same result. This practice is fine for run of the mill tooth care, but if you need something more complicated, go to someone more experienced.
