My husband and I went there last year. We chose them because they are close to us, and they took our insurance. The lady who did the cleaning was good.
The dentist said my husband needed 2 crowns, and I needed one. So, he did all the drilling and shaping, took impressions, and fitted temp crowns. Three weeks later we got a call that "the lab lost your impressions." We both had to go back to make new impressions. Well, instead of just making new impressions, he did all the drilling and shaping all over again! We had to endure more shots and more drilling!
Another three weeks pass, and we get the call that our crowns are ready.
While dry fitting mine, the tech drops it down my throat. With immense presence of mind and self control, I was able to hack it back up into my mouth. Otherwise another new crown would have been needed. But it was recovered and finally installed.
Wait, the story is not over.
This spring, 1 year after it was installed, the crown comes off while we are "up north." I buy some dental cement at Walgreens and put it back in place. Upon return to the Villages I go to a different dentist for re-installation. He shows me the crown, and points out the deficiencies in how it was made, and recommends replacing it. Which I do. More drilling and shaping. Its a wonder there is any tooth material left. But after 3 weeks I now have a new crown on that tooth.
My husband and I will not go back there.
