I went to Western Dental about two years ago for a cleaning and checkup visit. I'd never had a cavity in my life, but they came back with their X-Rays and said I had TWELVE. I believed them. The prognosis amounted to over $2,000 worth of dental work (to be performed by them, of course).
Thank God I moved away and didn't get those fillings put in... Because a year later, at my next dental appointment at a good dentist in Florida, the X-Rays showed I actually had four cavities - a far cry from what Western Dental told me! Once I moved back to Santa Rosa, I learned that my sisters, aged 22 and 24, each had 12 ugly silver fillings put in by this horrible company.
Based on my experience with Western Dental, and thru reading the reports of other patients on this site, I KNOW my sisters did not need 12 fillings - probably not anywhere close to it. I am greatly disturbed and upset by the fact that this company is ripping people off and destroying their dental health in Santa Rosa every DAY. I don't know how the owners or employees sleep at night - what they're doing is absolutely criminal.
It seems that all of us who have been treated there have signed a fine-print contract agreeing not to sue them for anything that goes wrong, so we don't have a case there. But even if we can't individually sue for malpractice, we can take action to have Western Dental shut down.
I hope that, if you're considering Western Dental for your dental work, you will run far away from them, spend the extra money, and have a good dentist work on your teeth. We only get one mouth in this lifetime... Don't let them ruin yours, too.
