I've been going to Dr. Pope for a few years. I originally was drawn to his practice because he is labeled as a "cosmetic dentist." My teeth are wore down from years of grinding and I'd like a better smile - otherwise, they are in pretty good shape. At my first appt. with him, it seemed like I had to keep pressing him on solutions for a better smile which seemed weird. I don't know if his mind was on a golf game later in the day or what, but it sure didn't seem like he was interested in going through options with me. After that, I had the BrightSmile process done which was a total waste of $$$ and left my teeth ultra-sensitive for days. I was given no info re: how sensitive my teeth would be or that I could only eat white-colored foods for the following 24 hours after the procedure. The last straw was at my last cleaning/checkup when he casually tells me I need $20,000 in treatment for veneers and crowns to take care of my terrible wear problem, otherwise, I may start losing my teeth. It wasn't until after I left that it occured to me "why is this coming as a surprise to me - the "wear" didn't just happen overnight???" Me thinks he wants me to finance his next vacation. I'm not going back.
