Lakewood Dental Group

"UPDATE: The other filling they did now cracked in half, broke off and flew into the sink when I flossed. I was then telling this story to friends last night and I found out 2 others I know also go here and suddenly needed many fillings done just after being told they had no cavities and never needing any before. The new dentist here is drill-happy and I wish I had never let them touch my teeth when I had no symptoms at all, because now my teeth are so drilled up I need root canals. All 3 of us are still in pain after what should have been basic work there many weeks ago, but had no pain beforehand. UPDATE: The nightmare continues. I had to wait weeks and called diligently to get in to an endodontist for root canals I now needed on those two teeth they kept having to redo. I finally scored a canceled appointment slot through a miracle and calling everywhere, but when I went in the doctor told me the problem was not root canals, but 1) a large filling shard left between my teeth breaking my gums open, and 2) the other filling has cracked in half. The pain has gotten so bad that I am now only eating foods I reduce to slop first, if I eat at all. Time to call around tomorrow to get these fillings looked at AGAIN. At this point, LDG has encouraged me to get a second opinion elsewhere. UPDATE: Bumping my rating down again as it's been almost a week since the re-redo and that tooth is still hurting and bleeding, so it will need to be looked at at my next appointment in two days instead of fixing my other side. Again. Two steps forward and three steps back now. I should have went elsewhere the moment they told me they needed to redo their own work. The only reason I didn't is because they said they had a new thorough doctor...except she's not even the one doing the fillings. Everybody there is so friendly and listens well, but be prepared to go in multiple times for the same problem. Turns out I have to get many fillings redone that they did under a different doctor last year, and now I just had to get my left side re-redone because one of the redone fillings was a problem. Then that means I had to reschedule out the work on the other side I was supposed to get so that I have a side to eat on while this heals, again. It's two steps forward and one step back with this place. Unfortunately I have had worse luck elsewhere, and they're the nicest office I have found that will take Caresource."

"Everybody working there was pleasant, friendly and professionl. They took me in on little notice with an aching tooth. The extraction was quick. I definitely will go back."

"I needed an emergency appointment for my 89 year old mother with a swollen jaw. They were able to get us in immediately. They were very understanding and patient with her. Through x-rays and a cleaning they were very supportive of her even though she hadn't been to a dentist in over 20 years. Anna was careful and gentle in cleaning teeth that had been neglected. Thanks again to the whole staff for continuing to service our entire family."

"It’s impossible to get an appointment. 2 stars only because the dental care was good the one time when I was able to get in. However, after waiting months for my appointment, they cancelled without informing me. And this isn’t the first time they have cancelled or moved my appointment."

"front desk ladies are so happy all the time!! very energetic! and the doctor's assistants are always cheerful and engaging--make you feel like family! i visited with doctor Jenkins. i don't know where he's from but this 'good ol boy' will relax you more than a massage! i simply LOVE this dental group. if it weren't for the fact it was a dentists office, i might visit more often!"
