Dear Dr. Hall,
I read your respose to Lesly [sic] (A Bad Experience with Lumineers) and was very shocked and disappointed that you without seeing the patient jumped to the conclusion that the treating dentist made an error and that his skills as a a cosmetic dentist are not up to the standards. As someone who claim that you try to educate and help the public you should be very objective and avoid judging your peers without knowing the whole truth…shame on you.
Dear Anonymous,
Shame on me? Before you talk to me about shame, I think you should have the decency to identify yourself. But your message came with no e-mail address, phone number, or first name. People who make comments behind a cloak of anonymity don’t have much credibility with me.
I am proud of what I write. So much so that I put my name on it, my address, my phone number, and all about the company I run. And I think Lesley is very glad that I didn’t pull any punches when I answered her question.
Lesley’s case was pretty clear cut – she had three crowns and three Lumineers placed on her front teeth and within a week, one of the crowns started turning dark. I think that any decent, self-respecting dentist would take responsibility for that. I certainly would, if that happened with a case that I just inserted, and I don’t think it is out of line to expect that from her dentist. Do you think that is within the standard of care, to give a patient a dark crown on a front tooth?
