BTW the first dentist I had the misfortune to stumble over here in Mnt
View was so disgustingly awful that they had to change their name.
There are complaints about them online. (formerly known as Grayson
Dental).

What's up with bay area dentists? Namely about a half dozen in the
South bay I've tried over the past three years. They all stink! The
latest dentist (term I coin losely) didn't even do a shade match for a
temporary plate I wanted made! So I had to a cancel and reshedule
elsewhere because I needed the work done fast.

Finally I believe I've found someone decent in Palo Alto that will
take me tomorrow. So far it looks promissing. I'll leave the name of
the one from Menlo Park out. On the other hand, if they bill me a cent
for doing nothing for me, they can bet their tush their name will be
plastered here
along with the full details of the experience I had.

The 2nd last dentist I had lost my crown! (Smiles Dental in MntVw) And
as a final f-u, they charged me $300 for X-rays. Now I know where they
got the money for my one-free smoothy giftcard they gave me .. from
me! Smoothies are really expensive here.

The reason for the temporary work was because the dentists are so bad
and expensive here that I'm forced to go out of the country to get any
permanent work done.

Will post updates as they happen.

BTW the best dentist I found was fm Southern California, but the fees
were astronomical.
