Sky Dental

2/4/2022 I called my insurance (Delta). I chose Sky Dental on Whittier Blvd, in Whittier, CA because I could bike there. I made an appointment to have a deep cleaning (4-quadrants). I knew that dental offices try to sell you work you don't need. So, I made sure, during the call, that I wanted the deep cleaning which is entirely covered by Delta. The dentist that saw me didn't find anything wrong with my teeth. He suggested a mouth guard for night sleeping (which of course is not covered) He also suggested replacing old crowns. I am a retiree that makes $760 a month with my SS check. I told the dentist that I didn't have money and asked him if the work he suggested was covered by my insurance. He said: "the front office clerk will check and tell you." I was ushered to the front office again where I had to wait for 40 minutes for the clerk to finish the quote. She came back later with suggested work worth $5.000 !!! (all cosmetics which is not covered) I said:"But I came specifically for the deep cleaning which you agreed upon when I made the appointment." She blushed. "Am I going to get my teeth cleaned today, I asked." "No," she answered. "You need to make an appointment and we don't have anything till March at which point we'll be out of network." This office operates like a car dealership where you go in for an oil change and they come back and scare you into spending thousands of dollars. The dentist is not really a caring professional, he's more like a greedy salesman. They never wanted to clean my teeth, they lured me into their office under false pretenses, so they could see what money they could get out of me. The dentist himself is dropping my insurance because obviously the money he gets from them is not enough. I hadn't had my teeth cleaned in over two years and the dentist saw this. He saw that I needed a deep cleaning badly but was unwilling to do it unless I signed up for some of the cosmetic work he suggested. This is not a caring professional. If he was a surgeon, he would suggest surgery instead of physical therapy. If I were you, I would stay away from this office. They're sure to suggest treatment you don't need to see how much they can get out of you. Everything that is cosmetics Dental does not cover so that's what they try to sell you since that is where their money is.
