I went to this dentist a few weeks ago for a regular cleaning after going about 1.5 years without getting one. After having X-rays of my teeth taken, I was given a "full-mouth debridement with evaluation and diagnosis" without receiving a clear explanation on it (i.e., that it is different from a regular cleaning, is much more expensive, and for which I would need to pay a portion out-of-pocket). The procedure lasted about 20 minutes and seemed to me to be no different from any of the regular cleanings I have had in the past.
Before leaving her office that day, I was told to make another appointment in two weeks for my regular cleaning. During the same visit, my X-rays were not examined by the doctor; only the hygienist saw them. Dr. Wenicur herself told me that she will only look at my X-rays when I return to see her in two weeks. In fact, during my visit Dr. Wenicur never even stepped into the room where I had my debridement done and did not look at my teeth at all.
In the past, I have gone over 5 years without seeing a dentist, and the first time I went back for a regular cleaning, no full-mouth debridement was necessary. When I called Wenicur's office about this matter after receiving my bill in the mail, I was told
out of 5 stars
