RECKLESS AND NEGLIGENT.
Dr Wachspress should not be practicing dentistry. I would never recommend him or his practice Dental Arts of Garden City to anyone. I visited his office after endodontic treatment to have a crown placed on my tooth. He filed the tooth down to the gum compromising it so badly that only the post was securing the crown. As a result of his poor work the crown came off twice and the post is now broken inside the tooth. After numerous visits, he further damaged the crown by filing it down in attempts to correct his shoddy work and made excuses to justify why the post broke and why the crown kept falling off. He recommended that I see the endodontist to have the post removed from inside the tooth so he could replace it. Several dentist including the endodontist said he filed down too much of the tooth and removing the post would further compromise the tooth. In fact, the endodontist finding was that the tooth has “very guarded to poor prognosis and that extraction and implant was recommended.” After relaying this information to Dr. Wachspress he asked what I wanted him to do. He was told that because he filed down the tooth there was not enough tooth left to support a crown and the tooth will have to be extracted
