I paid $66, which seemed reasonable & did not think to ask "how much for the bite adjustment?" when I left. What a mistake! My second visit was $266, bringing the total to around $335. My insurance covered none of it because of non-covered procedure codes, but the claims agent GAVE me the dental codes that were acceptable, so Dr. Wilson's office could resubmit. I gave them the codes & called 3 times to follow up with 2-4 weeks delay in receiving a return call. The last info I got from the office was that the claim had been resubmitted, but according to the United Dental, as of today, a second claim was never filed by Dr. Wilson's office... In addition, I still experienced pain in the tooth & asked to be re-examined by Dr. Wilson to check the bite again. The office said "too much time" had lapsed since my first visit & he would not help me. I recommend against doing business with Dr. Wilson & his staff. They are more concerned with making profits than helping their patients. They REFUSED to re-file my 2 visits with different codes & DISMISSED me by telling me they had already done so. After spending all that $$$, I had to go elsewhere to fix the problem, which turned out to be a simple fix for very little money.

I know that I am always receiving the best care out there and trust her recommendations without hesitation. I have to say I was a bit nervous about seeing Dr. Wilson for the first time, but he is very knowledgable and kind hearted. He took the time to explain everything about the procedure I was going to have done and eased my fears, everything with my implants went great! Furthermore, I love the fact that they have a dental hygienist available for my biannual teeth cleaning and x-rays. She is very friendly and thorough with her cleanings. Thanks as always for caring so much in keeping my teeth and gums looking and feeling healthy. I have a great smile because of you and your team!

Despite my embarrassing and lengthy avoidance of dental care, all saff exhibited nothing but kindness and understanding toward me. During each procedure, the team explained what they were doing, managing my expectations extremely well. They work well together as colleagues in a nurturing environment are able to do. They were very considerate of any pain, checking in frequently to ensure everything went as comfortably as possible. Dr. Morgan is massively competent, knowledgeable about all the most up-to-date techniques and technology. She gave me the best tip ever to mitigate my strong gag reflex that has worked like a charm. That tidbit earned her my eternal gratitude. The wonderful people aren't the only great thing about Metairie Dental Centre. Since the facility's renovation several years ago, the waiting room is spacious and comfortable, with complimentary coffee and calming décor. The exam rooms are also more spacious and have TVs attached to the ceiling for patients to watch during their procedures. Everything looks so nice, like the reveal from an HGTV show. The piéce de resistance is the charming powder room. It features a glorious mural of a moody swamp scene painted by the practice owner Dr. Murphy's high school-age daughter. It's a magical place to relieve oneself. Like I said, there are so many reasons to recommend Metairie Dental Centre. These are but a few. Go discover the rest for yourself.

As a result, I had to pay for cosmetic bleaching with my orthodontist. 4) Lastly, my orthodontist and I thought I could use a touch-up on one side, but when I brought it up, there was minimal discussion, then Dr. Nasr escorted me through the back door. I'm not sure that I look like most of their clients, and I didn't feel as though I was treated like most would either. The practice is also relatively small, so that might mitigate some of the issues I encountered. A positive, my teeth look better than they did pre-op.

The dentists did an excellent job on a complicated procedure but my experience with the front…read moreoffice has been horrible over the years. I was given a bill for $700+ and was told (rudely) that my insurance wouldn't cover the procedure. I contacted my insurer directly and my actual bill amounted to $50. This was only one of many unpleasant interactions with the office. Their manner in dealing with patients over insurance payments, appointments, etc. is so unhelpful and the information provided is full of mistakes. In addition, my new dentist's front office staff mentioned they have had contentious exchanges over obtaining patient records. I understand someone having a bad day, but this is an ongoing problem in their office. I want to believe the managing dentist is not aware of how some of the front office staff treat patients and . If they were aware, I would think they would provide their personnel with training in customer relations. I will not be back.

I'm very disappointed in Dr. Nasr and his practice. During my initial consultation, he made me feel…read moreso good about the gum and bone graft surgery (this is right before he collected his fee of $2700) and made me feel as though this was going to be a quick and easy surgery with very little down time. He claimed that I'd have the surgery on a Friday and would be back to work by Tuesday at the latest. Six weeks later, my gums were still swollen, I was still in pain, and I couldn't chew on one side of the mouth. I contacted the office several times to express my concerns, and instead of the doctor or his assistant calling me back, his receptionist called me back to let me know that the doctor would be willing to see me, but I'd be charged an extra fee if the pain I was feeling was not related to the surgical procedure he performed. I then went to my local dentist who checked the surgical site free of charge and helped to guide me through the process of trying to get the gums to heal. When I finally saw Nasr at my eight week follow- up check up, he checked the area quickly and said that it was still inflamed because I'd been traumatizing the gum area. When I asked him what he meant by that, he said he didn't have an answer, handed me a special brush to clean the area, and said he'd see me again in 2 1/2 months. I scheduled a follow-up appointment but never heard back from the office to confirm my appointment. I found this very strange, since I'd received all the previous reminders of upcoming appointments! Was I taken off of the appointment schedule because he knew I had a problem that couldn't be resolved easily and that since the graft was unsuccessful, he'd have to perform another surgery free of charge? I've waited a full 6 months to write this review in hopes that Nasr would try to come up with a solution, but since I never heard from the office, I've finally had to go to other specialists including another periodontist, an oral surgeon, and an endodontist to figure out what could be causing this lingering pain. The oral surgeon believes that too much bone was removed from the site during the bone graft procedure and that is what is causing the pain. Unfortunately, this bone loss is irreversible. Now I will need to either get my tooth extracted or have another gum graft surgery. Maybe if the surgery had been an easy one and it had gone as planned, this would have been a more pleasant experience, but since my case seemed more complicated and the graft failed, Nasr offered very little advise on what I could do to help with the healing process. His post- surgical care was unsatisfactory to poor at best. I would definitely do a lot of research before choosing a skilled and experienced periodontist. I do not recommend this practice.

I have to tell you, I HATE going to the dentist, no less one that specializes in root canals and…read moremore complicated things, but Regine Dyer has given me a new perspective. Sent to her as a referral for extreme sensitivity to everything for a tooth. Dr Dyer examined all the teeth in the area and ultimately found the tooth the dentist thought was the problem was not. X-rays showed a previously sloppy root canal, but nothing that had to be fixed. I left her office with a tube of very strong sensitivity toothpaste and told to use it every day and sleep in it. The goal: control the sensitivity to avoid a root canal. Two follow up visits and continued use of the toothpaste has helped. She advised I have a bite issue which has caused microscopic cracks in the enamel of my teeth causing the sensitivity, and if I really wanted the bite fixed, I could see a prosthodontist. Wow, who knew? My other option is veneers, but she did not push this. And to totally round out this review: On a couple of occasions a hygienist was doing something else for Dr Dyer, but she still proceeded to do the exam without assistance. She's time sensitive and I like it! The staff is very friendly and efficient. Rarely if ever have a waited past my appointment time. The reception area has plenty of comfortable seating and light. You do have to pay up front for the scheduled service, and added services are billed to your insurance or whatever your situation is. There is free lot parking in the front and the back of the building and I've never not been able to find a spot. You'll appreciate the extra care you'll get here.

Despite expressing her concerns several times, she did not feel that she was being taken seriously. At one point, she had to sit up because she was spitting out a large amount of blood and had already swallowed quite a bit of it. When she mentioned what was happening, she was told that it was "just water." She was left with a significant injury inside her mouth, along with pain and swelling. What disappointed us most was not only the injury itself, but also the lack of concern, communication, and empathy shown toward the patient throughout the situation. The only solution offered was a prescription for medication, without a clear explanation or proper follow-up. We cannot recommend this office.
