My situation is that I tried to be prepared for fixed bottom denture by getting solid 4 root molar…read morereplacement implants, left and right sides, instead of root canal crowns, years ago. I had a estimate with my regular dentist for $13k because I need 2 more reg implants in place of the canines, just 4 needed altogether. This is including 6 extractions. I came to Mint for a 2nd opinion. The dentist was not personable, insisted I get a total of 10 mini implant as he said 'implants cannot be used to bridge a gap'... huh? maybe it's a 'mini' implant issue? .. a total of 12 implants are needed for a permanent lower denture. along with replacement bone $500 a pop in all extraction area's. The Mint dentist gave me an estimate of $10K just for 2 extractions and 5 separate mini implants and I would still have 4 crooked, stained, front bottom teeth to deal with going forward. With the pain and healing of FIVE Implants vs TWO. Its all talk to say less painful and leave with the implant & crown, same day? Not buying it.. literally. Also, no follow up contact after the estimate. I was walked back to a smelly storage room for the Panoramic x-ray, then the dentist barely looked in my mouth and already had the estimate in his hand when he came in the room, was not interested in discussing any other options. Rude.

I consist had issues with them staying in place not long many weeks after the procedure was finished. When I complained about the bottom plate not staying in, he repeatedly told me I needed to do a different type of implant on the bottom for another$10,000. The bottom implant ONLY has 4 posts. 3 in front, one on the left and NOTHING on the right side to help secure it at all. At one point, Dr. Coolican looked at me and said "I am not the one that made you loose your teeth". My advice......GO ELSEWHERE! Run away! Michael Hazleton, Pa.

I was not informed of the changes within the practice that occurred the year prior (after my last cleaning).

While I received good care here, it is also not care that is worth out of pocket costs.

I am extremely disappointed with this office. We scheduled this appointment 6 months ago, and when…read morewe arrived today, we were told they stopped accepting my children's insurance back in October. That means they had 5 full months to notify us and never did. Completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the front desk experience was frustrating and unprofessional. The dark-haired receptionist asked if I was already a patient. When I said no, I questioned why that mattered--and she told me that if I was a patient, they would still see my children anyway. She then went on to say the dentist would basically use it as some sort of "write-off." That explanation made absolutely no sense and felt very questionable. We rearranged our schedule and waited months for this appointment, only to be turned away at the door with no prior notice and a confusing, dismissive explanation. Poor communication and unprofessional handling all around. I would not recommend this office.

PATIENT BEWARE! Recent new patient visit to Lawrence Dental. Their website offers first…read morecomprehensive oral evaluation, NOT TRUE! They actually billed our Delta Dental insurance for my first visit, D0150 for $131! AND to make matters worse, they lied about having me be able to use my Itex account. For those of you who don't know what Itex is, it's a platform businesses use to barter for services. You can Google 'Itex' as well. So my first visit entailed an evaluation for a tooth extraction. With my Itex account and PRIOR to the visit, Kimberly confirmed that I would be able to use my funds in my Itex account to pay for the extraction since my dental insurance didn't cover it. So I scheduled with them and went over everything with the so-called complimentary evaltions with regard to my extraction I even confirmed again that I would be able to use Itex. They said the extraction would be between $5000 and $6000. A few weeks went by to receive the predetermination. When it was emailed to me, the estimate was $9161! WHAT? Not even close to the $5-6K estimate. Then when I called them to go over it, they then said they were transitioning to a 'new management' (whatever that means since the name Lawrence Dental never changed), and they no longer will be taking Itex as payment under their new management and I would not be able to use my Itex funds to pay for the extraction. I explained to them what they just put me throught, they didn't care at all. So I just wasted all this time and money with Lawrence Dental. They are not to be trusted, they lie, get everything in writing, and never again.

However, Lawrence Dental said the claim was rejected because it was made too late. They had said that the delay was due to a software conversion on their end, so my insurance company had rejected the payment. I just found out from the insurance company that they paid for the visit back in July and they do not understand where the $300 amount is coming from. Now, Lawrence Dental is not picking up the phone. It is well within their business hours and they are not in the office. I just got scammed out of $300. Do not go here.
