I was recommended to Dr. Bruce Hartley by a friend. When I first went to him he examined me and concluded every mercury amalgam filling needed to be replaced with an expensive porcelein filling / and or crown - roughly $30,000. Foolishly I agreed and began the replacing. After my initial visit he turned me over to Dr. Do who has done all the actual work. She is very nice and the facilities are first rate. However, after two crowns and 6 fillings at about $1200 each I'm not at all happy with the results. The gimmick is they have a machine that will grind the permanent crown from porcelein while you wait. Problem is the crown is of inferior quality. The first crown was cracked and had a hole in it that has now grown to a huge size. I requested they replace the cracked crown but I was surprised I had to practically beg to get them to agree to do the replacement. Meanwhile another molar I had cracked off completeley at the root and they decided it was okay to leave that one for > 6months and work on another 3 teeth that were not nearly as bad. When I finally got the cracked tooth replaced by a crown I found myself in pain for 2 weeks because it had rotted so badly. Now I need a root canal and I have severe headaches
