DO NOT GO TO COAST DENTAL IN TARPON
This star rating is the lowest allowed. I would prefer a -5 rating. In Nov 2025 I went in for a cleaning. I was taken in to get x-rays then escorted into the hygenists room. The dentist came in to examine my teeth. He informed me I have a cracked bridge and showed me the crack. The hygenist then pulled up my x-rays and told me I needed a deep clean. The areas he told me about did not look like they were tarted layden to me, but hey, he's the expert. Right? He had me sign a paper agreeing to the procedure,and told me I would have to return to have my uppers deep cleaned another day. This whole process took no longer than 45 min. from the time I walked into x-ray until I left. I returned the following week I went in for my uppers to be "deep cleaned" This deep cleaning took a total of 12 minutes from the time I sat in the chair until i got up. This should have taken an hour each, upper and lower plus x-ray and exam time. No numbing gel was applied and no pain was present either time. I am aware these DSO's are netorious for saying procedures are needed when not really necessary but this was blatant. I will be looking for another option. The problem is finding another dentist that accepts Advantage plans. It seems these plans don't mind the rip-offs.
