Complaint Review: Western Dental - Salinas California

Denti-cal normally only approves one major procedure, like a root canal, per visit. This is to prevent dentists from overdiagnosing and doing too much work. There is no such thing as an amalgam crown. There are metal crowns, but the porcelin crown they recommended is more cosmetically pleasing if your tooth is visible when you smile. Otherwise you'll look like a metal-mouth. A temporary filling after a root canal is standard. You should get a permanent filling with the crown. If your teeth are in pain, you should go back and have them do an "open and medicate" procedure where they remove the temorary filling, put medication inside the tooth and reseal it. That is one reason why the filling is temporary. Root canals are done becuase there is an infection or abcess at the base of the tooth, and they take time to drain and heal.
