I went to have my 6 smile crowns done. The end result was horrible. 4 top cosmetic dentists confirmed this. 4 of 6 crowns cracked/chipped within 3 months. I made a lisping sound when I talked due to the crowns size and placement. There were gaps/holes between crowns. Crowns were crooked. Crowns were overcontoured/bulky and looked like they belonged in a man's mouth. Crowns were supposed to be Empress Crowns, but 4dentists confirmed they were not. When she did a bisque try in I thought they were someone elses crowns by mistake. I was furious. I said everything wrong with them. She said she would correct. Then she went to France for a month. I came back to have the corrected crowns cemented. They were the exact same except glazed. I was furious and said I did not want them in. She said I had no choice. I should have ran out with stumps in hind sight. She put them in against my approval of them. Her secretary cornered me for the 2nd half of payment. I paid check...went straight to bank and put stop payment. She hired a credit collector to threaten me until I paid her. She would not fix or replace even when 4 cracked w/i months due to allignment/bite/size. I paid another dentist to redo them. SHE'S BAD NEWS!!
