I would not recommend Dr. Hargas. After moving to the area, I needed a new dentist. My husband went to Dr. Hargas and liked the hygienist. I have always had good dental care and insurance. Dr. Hargas is very personable and creates a feeling of confidence. Within a month, I had two crowns, one requiring a root canal. These were on teeth that my former dentist did not see any issues. One of the crowns did not feel like it fit from the beginning. Chewing was more of a sliding motion and I was in constant pain. After Dr. Hargas adjusted it without success, it hurt more. I never had jaw pain before. An associate he had coming in one day a week was able to trim the teeth and adjust the bite in a series of appointments which eliminated most of the problem, but the crown still doesn't connect with the tooth below it. After thinking about the care I received at this office in comparison with my previous dentists, I definitely feel that this office is geared to make money, not to provide the least care necessary to maintain good dental health. However, I did appreciate the associate working with me and using her advanced technology to adjust the bite.

I know this doctor: 6 months
