Southridge Dental

Get a second opinion before trusting any advice given here! I went here to have a 5 year old filling replaced because a small piece chipped off. Byronn Hahn said I needed a crown so I took his advice. After they filed my tooth down and I had a temporary cap for about a week, I returned to the office to have the permanent crown cemented on. My tooth hurt everyday after the permanent crown. I couldn’t eat, drink, or even chew without pain. So when I went back to the office complaining about a non stop toothache caused by their procedure, I was then told I may need a root canal. I explained to the dentist and dental assistant that prior to them working on this tooth, I had NO PAIN whatsoever, I wanted it fixed basically for esthetic and preventative purpose… so why would I all of the sudden need a root canal on a tooth that was painless prior to him working on it? Mr Hahn then said that maybe I just needed my bite adjusted. So I had to go back for four adjustments, yes four. Each adjustment he filed the crown lower and lower and said «oh yes, the crown is too high, her bite is off». After each adjustment, the pain decreased so I was hoping he would get the adjustment down to the correct level and my bite would be back to normal again. The issue was obviously that the crown was too big for my mouth; not that I needed a root canal. After the fourth adjustment Mr Hahn told me I would have to pay 40 $ for any further adjustments. He also said he may not even be able to perform any further adjustments because the crown was filed down to its furthest point (without exposing the cement). So I never went back. Why do I need to return four times so he can try to correct his mistake? And then pay 40 $ on his 5^th attempt at trying to adjust the bite. If it was sized properly before cementing, this wouldn’t have happened. You could clearly see that his crown was the highest and biggest tooth in my mouth. How difficult is it to put a proper sized crown in a row of teeth and match up the level correctly? On top of months long of toothaches caused by him, the ladies at the front desk were very rude. They never smile and looked at me like I was crazy because I kept returning for adjustments. Byronn Hahn does not give good dental work at all. He messed up my tooth and rather than fixing it, he masks his bad work by recommending a root canal to kill a perfectly fine nerve and prescribes pain meds to Dull the pain caused by his improper dental work. I ended up going to another dentist where I had to get ANOTHER crown done completely over. The dentist sized it correctly the FIRST time and NO root canal was needed. I wish I could give this place four negative stars for each failed painful adjustment.

From the moment I walked into the office I felt welcome and at home. Every staff member I came in contact with was friendly and professional. My dental hygienist explained everything she was doing which I think is important because you can’t see what’s going on. She made me feel extremely comfortable. Dr. Hahn is great! He made sure there were pictures taken so I could see what he explained to me for myself. I will recommend this place to everyone I know!
