Dr. Triliouris didn't give me a good feeling from the start, but I was already there for my cleaning so there wasn't much I could do about it. She came by with my X-rays & told me that I needed a lot of dental work done ($2500+ after insurance coverage). This dental work included a few cavities (which I expected) & 1, possibly 2, root canals. I was told I has an abscess and that one root canal would definitely need to performed because of this. They did not prescribe me any medication for my abscess, which at the time I didn't realize was standard procedure in order to eliminate infection. When I went to another dentist for a 2nd opinion, they took high quality digital X-rays that they enlarged for me to go over what they found. They did not see any abscess in these X-rays & I was told that between that and having absolutely no pain in my teeth that I would NOT need a root canal at all yet. This new dentist also found it quite odd that I was not on any medication for the "abscess" that DLC found, & I am honestly thinking that they were just trying to cheat me out of money. I can only assume they didn't give me medication since I didn't actually have an abscess. Think twice or get a 2nd opinion for any major dental work.
