I had seen Dr. Sotero, {the only dentist in the "group"} of and on for over 10 years. When I first met him, I was in my early twenties, my teeth were beginning to give mw problems, I needed route canals, I only went to him when i needed someone who i knew would be a perfectionist.{Like my front tooth for instance and a lower side tooth a few years earlier.I figured I would put up with his abuse and atleast, he WOULD do nice work. He startedd making comments like, "what have you been doing?only brushing the fronts of your teeth?- Annoying, but not too bad, even when he would slam the tools down when he would decide the tooth couldnt be saved. Nothing can compare to last month, My FRONT tooth that he had route canaled two years ago all of a sudden literally fell out of my mouth! That freaked me out! unfortunatly, I have had failed route canals before, they would chissel down over time, without any warning it just fell OUT.I came in immediatly to see him and he was ANGRY I had since been told I have had No vitamin D in me for years and one of my asthma meds also cause dental problems.Well, he refused to do an implant or bridge, I suggested atleast one of the temporary things that people were when they get teeth knocked out..a flipper? or Flapper? He almost WOULDNT do that, he said I should just go pull out all remaining front teeth and get a whole denture. well I managed to have him make me the flapper tooth which..ofcourse, looks great, but he said to me, "its the end of the line for you, the end of the road, I cant do anything for you an implant?so you can have one perfect tooth? and the flapper? youll just need to throw it in the garbage in a year!..Well I said my peace, you know how I feel, you really need to think about this your postponing the enevitable and just farting around, its stupid to do this, but I will." So, he would as a dentist been just fine to send me, { a 35 year old female who thankgod only looks 25} who up until now had a very nice and straight smile, {I had problems with needing route canals on the back teeth, but other dentists would comment on my smile, }h.ome without a front tooth!! and he knew I didnt have 2200$ plus extractions to do dentures, so, I guesse I was going to have no front tooth for a long time if up to him! He has no bedside manner and well i waited over amonth and I just saw a new dentist at Landmatk dental who has started partials in the back and route canaling a few fronts. According to Dr. Sotero, "there isnt enough tea in china to fix this" he said. Also, "You could come in here with fist fulls of hundred dollar bills and I wouldnt give you an implant on that tooth since your other teeth will just end up like this in time anyway!"-I guesse this is why WE GET SECOND OPINIONS!!-If you have no cavities your okay, but if you are just born with teeth that always have problems, unless you want to be abused, stay away from him.
