Dr. Lyle Petrutsas, DDS

A very bad experience ever. I had a crack in an old filling. I read good reviews about Dr. Petrutsas and decided to go to him and ask him to check this filling and fix it. When I arrived there after filling out the paperwork, the hygienist took x-rays and then she examined my gums. She told me that my gums are in poor condition, and I need to do few sessions of "scaling and root planning" otherwise, I will start losing bone. I got a second opinion. Doctor said you don't require a scaling.

From my very first visit, I had scheduling and billing problems with the front desk. That should have been my clue. But, I went back and had a crown put in. After a month it was still uncomfortable so they did some adjustments to it and removed some extra cement from the gums. I waited to see if it improved. After 2 months, I had sudden onset of severe pain. I gave up and went to another dentist who had to work for 2 hours removing excess cement. The cement had gone clear to the nerve.
