I recently moved to Florida and needed to find a new dentist. I have Cigna HMO so my options were rather limited. Luckily, I have been to the dentist every six months for the past 40 years. I have never had a single cavity or dental problem of any kind. All of my visits have consisted of a standard cleaning and x-rays once a year. Imagine my surprise when I went to Coast Dental and the "dentist" told me I had severe calculus build up and would require an extensive deep cleaning before they could give me a standard cleaning. After insurance it was going to cost me $200. They also told me I was in the advance stages of gum disease. When I pointed to the poster on the wall and indicated that I was not demonstrating any of the symptoms listed(bleeding gums, loose teeth, bad breath) the "dentist" informed me that you don't always need to have those symptoms to have gum disease!!! I asked why this would not have come up before during one of my previous dental appointments and she informed me that perhaps my prior dentist "was afraid to tell me." I absolutely refused any further treatment and left immediately. I should have known right away that this was not a good place. The office was filthy and the equipment was very outdated. When I returned to work and relayed my story to some of my co-workers, two of them told me they had the exact same situation as me. One of them is looking into filing a complaint with the BBB. Coast Dental is an awful place and I would caution anyone about using their services.
