He is nice but did not explain much. He recommended that I fix almost every filling and crown that I have, but did not explain why in each case. Instead just looked at x-rays and in dental terms described it to the assistant. Then his insurance person came in and presented this write-up to me, showing expected charges after dental insurance to be $5000. I expected there to be some problems and work because I have not seen a dentist for several years, but this was more than I expected. They may be good, but I am suspicious of all the charges and want a second opinion before doing any work. My husband went in to the Valencia Dental Group Office for root planing with antibacterial irrigation, and after insurance it was supposed to be $200 for half of his mouth. Instead it ended up being $410 because the hygeinist injected additional antibiotic into pockets in his gum. This may be valid, but it seems a little suspicious to us. She also convinced him to buy a $30 bottle of mouthrinse to help with gum disease. I'd really like to talk to someone to find out if this makes sense.
