What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
About 15 months ago I went in to a local Dental office for a cleaning, but before I knew it the office had talked me into 6 Veneers (upper K9 to K9).
The Doctor that prepped my teeth for Veneers was a temp, and only after a few months the Veneers started to crack and fall apart. After about 25 visits and 4 Dentist's later, I found out the orginal Doctor who had prepped my teeth screwed up. The temp Doctor prepped my teeth for Crowns, but put on Veneers! Also causing my gums serious problems which will need treatment for the next year or so.
So after all of the pain and suffering and the 25 trips to the Dental Office I decided to do something about my horrible experiences. I called and spoke with the district manager for this Dental Office (Bright now Dental) and basicaly told her about my horrible experiences, and that I would never go back to my local office.
She was somewhat understanding and referred me to another branch and Doctor.
After my visit to this new office, and new Doctor, he decided taking off the 6 Veneers and putting on 6 new Lumineers would be best, but they wanted to charge me for the differnece in price of the Veneers!
I called the district manager and told her that I had received some legal advice, and that she needed to do everything in her power to make me happy, or I was going to get a Lawyer.
So about 5 hours later, the district manager called me back and told me everything will be taken care of and I wasn't going to have to pay for anything. The original Dental office was going to pay for everything.
Looking back at everything, and remembering all the negative aspects I had to go through from the horrible Dentist to the sexual harrasment I recieved from the office manager. I'm a male if your wondering, men get harrased to you know. lol
I dont think I should let bygones be bygones, I should fight this to the end and recieve something for my pain and suffering. I did make at least 25 visits to the dental office over a 15 month period, with approximately 1 to 2 hours in a chair each visit and about 50 shots of Lidocaine.
Ive been to the dentist more times in the past 15 months then some people in there whole life!
Something needs to be! Plese Help!
Thanks
