My children go to the Brandon office( have for past 2 years) and no problem until they changed dentist now for both my children I am having billing issues. They told me the analgesic is not a covered cost for my daughter to use for her filling and its $99. I paid it. Noticed on my dental EOB they didn't even submit the claim to my dental insurance for it to be denied, after calling my insurance, turns out it is covered cost, in fact at 100%. Still waiting on my refund (3 months). So the next month my son has his check up and amazing he needs 2 fillings and I had to prove to them my kids insurance would pay for the gas so I wouldn't have to pre-pay. They let it slide but am still getting bills for this visit, even though my son's insurance paid again at 100%. So not sure what I was thinking I scheduled a new pt exam/cleaning for myself (I do not have insurance)..What a scam. I am 29 and have routine cleanings and no previous mouth/gum/teeth problems. So now I need 3 fillings and 4 crowns. Also said I "might" need route canal but would have to schedule appt with endo to find out and pay another fee to come back for my cleaning. So for $84 all i got was xrays... no one touched my teeth. So after reviewing my xrays they came up with my treatment plan as above and grand total: $7,700. Come on. I went to great teeth to this. Do i have the word Sucker written on my forhead??? Now I question if my kids really had cavities in the first place. The next day i called to schedule with private practice and the price soooo much better, but when I called Dental Group to ask for my xrays I paid $84 to have done .. guess what.. its a $25 charge to pick them up. Anything to get your money.
