Dr. Hall,
I contacted you earlier this spring about tetracycline staining and porcelain veneers. I was concerned about getting a natural looking tooth and not the opaque “chicklet” look that I have seen on others. Your site was invaluable to me in helping me locate a cosmetic dentist. I had initially thought my regular dentist would be ok until I did enough internet searching to see that if I am going to invest this much into my teeth I want someone that really knows what they are doing. I chose Dr. Leach in Columbus, OH. He did a fantastic job on my teeth and I couldn’t have asked for anything more (except free??). Everything he said made sense to me when I met with him for the consult…bleach until we can whiten them as much as possible, take as little off as possible and he even talked me out of getting the lowers done because the color improved so much with tooth bleaching. It was refreshing to have someone not oversell. I just wanted to follow up and say that I really appreciate the service you provide and put a recommendation in for Dr. Leach. THANKS!

K,
Thank you for your kind words!
We do genuinely try to help people and list only great dentists who know what they’re doing. We also try to find dentists who have strong ethical feelings and empathy for the patient, though sometimes that’s hard to judge, especially from a distance, so it’s nice to get that feedback about Dr. Leach. Thanks.
– Dr. Hall

Still looking for a good cosmetic dentist to fix mistakes. So unhappy with my smile for 5 years. 2 dentists did very poor job with front veneers and crowns and now my bite!! I live in Tucson AZ but afraid of new dentists now. Any help is appreciated.

Response from Dr. Hall,
Susan,
All I can offer is our recommended cosmetic dentists in Tucson or the Phoenix area. But from experience with people who have been burned, it can be difficult to trust even a great cosmetic dentist. When a patient has had poor treatment once, I can usually refer them to a great cosmetic dentist and they will get fixed. But when they have been burned repeatedly, it is very hard for them to trust again. I will refer them sometimes to several different dentists and they will go to each one and find they can’t bring themselves to trust any of them. They tend to actually end up with another dentist who is great at promises but poor at delivery. It has been very frustrating for me to try to help some of them.
