Dr. Germany installed a three crown bridge in May'10. It was digging into my gumline, but he said it fit fine. During my follow-up in Aug, he took x-rays and again, said everything looked fine. The soreness slowly continued to get worse. I chose not to go back to him because I perceived him to be dismissive, so I went to another dentist in Jan'11.
This dentist said my gums were very inflamed around the crown due to it being much too large. My bite was way off, enough to cause numerous chip spots. He first guessed the crown to be over 10 years old and certainly not just seven months old! This dentist said the crown must be removed and replaced. HE CLEANED MY TEETH, then suggested I go back to Dr. Germany for resolution. I called his office and he saw me the same day. Dr Germany said the problem was due to my teeth being "FILTHY DIRTY" and refused to refund the $3200.00. The next day, a peridontist confirmed the second dentist's diagnosis...a poor fitting bridge that will most likely progress to peridontal abscesses if not replaced.
Shame on Dr. Germany. This is a noble profession that demands a high level of trust from the public. To blatantly lie and shift blame to the patient is abhorent in my viewpoint.
