The procedures themselves were never painful, to be clear. Furthermore, the staff have always been courteous in my experience. The problems were the filling was too high which caused other issues, there was no mention of cost or potential cost until I specifically asked, and I didnt really know what I was getting done until I was on the chair, again, with no idea of cost, if any.
Going forward, I see no problem staying on with the clinic - this appears to have been a one-off case of administrative miscommunication for the most part. Ill also know from now on to thoroughly check my bite in multiple positions when getting fillings.
Its still upsetting that it happened in the first place, yes - which is why Im amending to 4 instead of 5 stars. But I will give credit where its due - they were quick to respond and went above and beyond to put things right. I feel confident the feedback has been taken onboard and this incident will end as just that - an unfortunate but one-off incident.
Original Review:
I cant fully close my jaw or chew now.
I had to go in for a new filling because my previous one just fell out. I only found out the cost after it was done - I expected someone to tell me but it was never mentioned - I had to ask at the desk if there was anything to pay after it was done!
And it turns out the filling that fell out was a permanent one and this one is only an emergency temporary (something I wasnt told prior) - it cost 98. If I had known I was only getting a temporary filling and that said temporary filling would cost that much, I wouldve waited and paid a little more to get a proper one!
Not only that, but now I cant chew or close my jaw because - despite the dentist grinding it down multiple times - the filling is still too high. It felt like it might be so while I was lying on the chair but the moment I was out of the clinic and no longer talking, I could tell something was wrong. Then I tried having dinner and couldnt chew. But they were already shut for the weekend. It turns out ones bite isnt the same when checked lying down as it is sitting/standing up!
I dont dare to think how much its going to cost to get it fixed nor when or if they will even be able to fix it. And I still have to get it removed and replaced with a permanent one, no doubt at full price. In the meantime Ill have to live with it for God knows how long and the thought makes me want to cry. I was better off when I had no filling - the sensitivity was manageable, I could chew my food and rest my jaw properly and I wasnt 98 out of pocket for something that will ultimately need to be replaced.
I wish I could say I wasnt deeply unhappy and disappointed but I am.
And to add insult to injury, I didnt get an email receipt despite specifically requesting one and being assured I would get one.
