I visited for a cleaning because my regular dentist was booked up for cleanings and was told by Franco that I had a hole in one of my upper molars. It happened to be where a crown already existed. I asked for her to point it out to me on the x. Ray and she kept pointing at the x. Ray saying it was right there, but I couldn't see anything. I went to my regular dentist for a second opinion, and she looked at my tooth and the xrays very thoroughly and said there is no hole to be found. :/ I mean, I'm relieved, but what the heck?! I also felt like they were pretty aggressive in terms of trying to schedule a return visit for that a supposed hole and for the next cleaning. I won't be returning.
