Dr. Shane Matt is also a part of Authentic Smiles This review is based on my wife's experience with Dr. Shane Matt in summer 2013. The process after seeing Dr. Matt required root canals by oral surgeons to fix his work - work that we believe was unnecessary. Dr. Matt's recommendations and then dealings afterwards to correct his work were extremely upsetting to us. The lowlights are: -He suggested work that we now believe was unnecessary, and never suggested by previous dentists (replacement of "old fillings" with no issues or symptoms present - my wife did one side of her mouth and ended up having to have 2 root canals after Dr. Matt's work. He put on new crowns, she was in pain and could not chew for weeks, he could never fix it with adjustments and, come to find out, she needed two root canals on those teeth). -The work was suggested as urgent, as if "who knows what's lurking under those old fillings"; this was no longer urgent once they found out she was pregnant and wanted to wait to do the other side, and then that the replacement of the one side of "old fillings" had gone awry --- painful, throbbing, inability to chew, etc. -He said that the need for root canals was due to "decay" although his dental assistant raved
