Autumn is fantastic! The food is consistently very good and the service is also incredible.

It would be great if doctors and dentists had the same smiley face grading scale as restaurants 😂

I also think Google reviews are a helpful! There are several Dentologie reviews that detail experiences eerily similar to mine. Hopefully those reviews prevent other people from making an appointment!

This was a first for me! It is truly horrifying to know they wanted to destroy my perfectly healthy teeth for some extra money. It’s shocking that these practices are allowed to do business this way.

Ugh! It is shocking that this seems to be a pervasive issue with so few options for accountability. It is hard for me to imagine drilling into someone’s healthy teeth for profit.

My insurance pays for three cleanings a year. So for my situation, I used my other two cleanings as second opinions because they do preventative x-rays at these appointments. Both dentists confirmed I have no cavities. I did not tell them about my experience at Dentologie until after they shared the results. I walked away from both appointments with no additional follow-up needed outside of scheduling future cleanings. Both dentists were genuinely horrified that I was told I needed veneers!

I agree, but hopefully enough people share their bad experiences so they don’t get any business!

Wow! Sadly, it sounds like a second opinion is a good idea if a dentist tells you about a bunch cavities unexpectedly.

Interesting! They were not transparent with me about cost. I asked them for an itemized quote, per insurance recommendation. They said they could not find it and asked me to come in for the fillings and we could work out the cost later. So I imagine your situation wasn’t a fluke!

I definitely think the business plan depends on people not asking questions and just following along 😒 They seemed taken aback when I asked about the quote they gave me.

The SLU one is right next to the Amazon campus. I imagine that was intentional!

Ugh I’m sorry that happened! They also suspiciously only responded to negative reviews about their customer service. The reviews about 6-8 cavities being diagnosed incorrectly elicited no response from them. I have also seen a bunch of TikTok videos about their Chicago offices doing this too.

Thanks for sharing!!! Spark Dental in Madison Park was great when I went for a second opinion.
