I would not recommend Dental One Associates (Columbia office) to my worst enemy. There is no discerning medical need from the fleecing of your wallet. I went to Dr. Wright several years ago for routine dental work and he convinced me to get a gold overlay for $700 out of pocket (plus insurance) due to the circumstance of a cavity I had. I returned to Dr. Wright this week to get additional cavities filled. To my surprise, he returned with a ?treatment plan? of more than $3K, $2 thousand of which is out of pocket. He was recommending three additional gold overlays for my cavities. I told his assistant I didn?t want additional gold overlays and I only wanted a standard composite filling, which my insurance covers. She returned to tell me Dr. Wright ?doesn?t do? composite fillings and I needed to find a new dentist. Dr. Wright or his assistant should state up front that he is a cosmetic only dentist. There is no medical need for fillings to be gold. The worst part of this is I wasn?t given any other option for treatment. It was as if his ?treatment plan? to have my cavity filled was my only option. The visit was a complete waste of my time, besides who wants a mouth full of gold overlays. It?s ridiculous to think someone wants to fill every cavity in their mouth with GOLD!
