When I went to Uptown Family Dentistry, it seemed that making money was more important than the patients. During the first cleaning, he tried to get me to sign up for teeth whitening (even though I was about 22 years old and living on raman). I had a few cavities that needed to be pulled, and scraped together the money to pay for those three. While he was in my mouth, he started filling in several more cavities that he had not noticed before. I wonder if they really needed to be filled (filled spots that my family dentist had always thought were fine). One of the places he decided to fill in was on the front of a front tooth. Within six months the filling fell apart, leaving a brown spot on my teeth. I ended up going back down to Portland to have my family dentist correct it.
