I had a crown installed by Dra Brenda which lasted about 8 months. The crown supposedly had a year guarantee, and I know the crown just fell off the tooth stem, as I had pushed it back on when it first fell off. That lasted fine for about a week. When I was eating some jellied candy, a few moments afterwards I noticed the crown was missing. I must have accidentally swallowed it. After a most unpleasant experience of drinking salt water to throw up the crown unsuccessfully and even resorting to sodium citrate, the crown could not be recovered. Knowing of the warranty, I decided to drive to Los Algadones from Sacramento to have it replaced. I was told the tooth stem had broken and the warranty was not applicable. I could see the stem and it didn't appear broken to me, just appeared to me that the glue had failed and the crown fell off. I was told to replace it they would have to remove the adjacent crown and fuse the two together. This would incur the cost of two crowns. I'm not a dentist but it seemed logical that would be more holding power. The process began and after the crowns were made and being installed, my pain was so intense at the gum level of the crowns and also in the gum below my lower partial I could hardly bear it. The alignment of my lower partial was not right and after many attempts to correct it, I finally said it was ok because I needed relief from the pain and did not want to deal with it any more. Just wanted no more pain. !!! My last visits to Dra Benda were good but this one was not so good. Additionally, while I was waiting for the lab to process the crowns, I found that all the dental offices around were only charging $120 a crown instead of the $150 she was asking. I did manage to get that price after signing a no warranty clause. After all, what good is a warranty if they won't honor it. My final remarks about Dra Brenda is that the warranty was not true, the care about my pain was lacking and the above comparative prices was not fair to a third time repeat customer. Also my lower partial still is not aligned 100 percent. Maybe the temperature had something to do with it as it was over 113 that day.
