My wife needs to have her lower teeth pulled due to some of the medication she is on, causing her teeth to break easily. So we're looking for a local dentist that can pull her teeth, what's left of them, and have a set of false teeth made.
Has anyone had any experience with a local dentist along these lines?

Dr. Billings... I am terrified of Dentists.....Dr. Billings and Beth who is my hygienist have been very accommodating. I started taking my son there when he was 4 so he could have a good dental experience.....I've been going there for 15 years.. Dr. Billings sent me to Dr. Hlousek (oral surgeon)(on Kent Island...and I am sure I did not spell his name correctly) when I had to have my wisdom teeth out and another tooth pulled.

Patton Smiles in Annapolis. I used to HATE going to the dentist until I found his practice. Everyone there takes great care of you, is professional, and most importantly gentle with your teeth and gums. He did my wisdom teeth and it wasn't as unpleasant as I would have imagined.
Do not, under any circumstances, go to Wolfe if you dislike pain. He does not have any regard for your comfort level in the chair.

I too am looking for a dentist recommendation. Have heard good things about Billings and Murhy and am glad to see that others here have had the same experience.

My girlfriend went to the Dentist cats next to Sombrero Mexican Kitchen and she liked them.

I like Dr. Wolfe in Chester, but it sounds like I am in the minority

I couldn't agree more that Dr. Billings. I went to Chesapeake Dental and while the staff was nice and the place clean, I was told how they "strongly recommended" how I should have some old silver fillings removed...even though there was nothing wrong them. So I did and the nightmare began.
Next thing I know, I am having a root canal on one of those same teeth they removed the old fillings from and they could never get the bite adjusted properly so my teeth were killing me. I gave them over a month to try and fix it but he was stumped and asked me "what would you like me to do??" Ummm...you are the dentist. I want you to fix the problem you created!! I didn't have any pain before I came in but have had nothing but pain since I first sat in your chair.
It was then I lost complete confidence in that place and decided to try Billings and Murphy. They had me in the same day I left Chesapeake Dental's office and I was completely pain free by the next morning. I cannot say enough good things about Billings and Murphy. Great folks, very professional, very nice, and most important...they know what they are doing.

If you are going to go to Billings and Murphy be sure to check with your insurance company first that they are in your plan because their office staff is totally clueless and will not inform you if they don't accept your insurance. They advertise that they take certain insurances but don't believe it. Check with your insurance. I go to Sarah Aufderheide and she is very good.

^ that reminds me, Patton Smiles checks to make sure your insurance covers each thing they do BEFORE they do it, and tells you your out of pocket prior.

I go to the Kent Island Dentistry by the Sombrero - no issues so far. I considered Billings but they don't honor the Met Life mil dependent plan.
The old man goes to Billings and while he likes him, he's had a run of issues and they finally referred him to a specialist in Annapolis. Though it sounds like the majority recommend him.

I use Dr.Moffat and find him very professional. He works in the oral surgery building on Rt. 18 across from Love Pt liquors.

Island Dental Studio - Dr. Cherry and also Dr. Aufderheide. Dr. Cherry is relatively new, but have had him a few times and he's great. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Aufderheide.

They advertise that they take certain insurances but don't believe it. Check with your insurance. I go to Sarah Aufderheide and she is very good. I have Billings as a Dentist. They do good with my teeth, but bad with billing. Billings and Murphy messed up my insurance three times for things insurance covers. It seems for any procedure outside of a normal check-up, I get a huge bill. My wife also got huge bills for things that insurance should have covered. Eventually, it did. She already changed dentists as a result. I may change to the dentist my wife uses because the billing issues are too time consuming and troublesome, which is a shame. I like Billings My insurance always pays, but to get Billings and Murphy to submit the proper paper work is like getting teeth pulled.

Bringing this thread back from earlier this year. Dr. Aufderheide's practice will now have openings for a family of new patients. Everyone still high on Billings and Murphy? Or are there some new suggestions? I know Dr. Katz, so I may go that way...just looking for options.
Thanks.
