Eva-Marie E Powers, DDS

This is a review of Dr. Powers and her dental office, Creative Smiles...



I was out of town and needed to have a crown that came out re-cemented. Unfortunately, this place was pretty much the only dental office open today (apparently, pretty much all the dentists close for Spring Break during this week). The dental assistant who was assigned to me was pleasant and courteous. However, other than that, the place did not feel patient focused.

1) the music they played was loud. 2) during the examinaton, they reclined my chair so I could feel my blood rushing back my forehead (WTF? too lazy to lean over and look?)



My visit was for re-cementing my crown. They estimated $128 for x-rays and evaluation which they did before the dentist saw me. The dental assistant said there's a good chance they can't re-cement the crown as all I have left is roots left. I said, I may have to have it pulled from my regular dentist. Her eyes got wider and said "You wish to have it pulled today?" Finally when the dentist saw me, she said they could cement it, after adding another $100 to the bill. I said, no..I'll go back to my regular dentist.



In the end, I was charged $128 for x-rays and an evaluation but I'm not better off then before I went there.



If you are looking for a dentist, forget about Creative Smiles. They are more creative in getting you to pay high dental costs then making you smile.
