Insider Pages Reviews for Dossett Dental
I went to Dossett Dental to have a tooth removed that I knew needed to be for quite some time. My uncle is a dentist and Kansas City and suggested I just get it done here. They told me that I would need to pay 8000 after insurance and that I would need to do finanace. They were pressuring me into doing it. I made an appointment at a later date for an extraction, they rescheduled the appointment and had me come in another week. When I went in the dentist I saw wasn't the one who I initially talked to or one on their website. While I was there the lady kept saying "You need a thorough cleaning its only 50 dollars more you should do it." I told her No just the extraction and my insurance covers cleanings she claimed this one was different and that I really needed to do it. She then proceeded to bring it up to me FIVE more time until I caved and decided fine just do it. They ended up charging my insurance and they would only pay for part of that cleaning. So now I am getting a call saying I need to pay what my insurance didn't for the cleaning that I didn't want or think I needed in the first place. Also, the extraction I received was BRUTAL. I ran out of anesthesia and they kept digging in my gums for the tooth saying they were almost one and wouldn't give me another shot. I complained about pain a week later and they told me that was impossible. A few days after that a piece of TOOTH was poking out of my gum. They told me to come in for an x-ray and they would fix it. Instead, I made a trip to Kansas City to see my uncle. This place is absolutely ridiculous and overpriced. My uncle charges 500 for a root canal and they charge WAY more than that. Bottom line it was awful experience, everything it shouldn't be. I honestly believe practices like this are why people don't see dentists when they need to.

I rarely end up in tears when going to a doctor, even if I am sick. I went to this dentist with one simple problem/question, and the next thing I knew, I was in some close-quartered backroom being pressured into a what was essentially an elaborate finance plan that totaled more than $13000. That's 13 followed by THREE zeros. They had me convinced that my teeth, which have never given me major problems or pain, were immanently doomed to fall out of my head. They literally drove me to tears right there in the office in the effort to extract money from me now and far into the future.
These folks are NOT concerned about your teeth. Save yourself some Dental and Mental health problems and avoid Dosset Dental at all cost, especially the one to your bank account.
Sincerely,
Maggie

Dr Dossett gave me my smile. I had dental surgery there, got veneers and have received dozens of compliments on my smile. No one guesses it's not natural. A very caring and precise staff. The dental hygienists come and go, but the quality of service remains the same. It's a no-pain office. Easy to get to and easy parking. Best of all -- when you call to make an appointment they get you in immediately -- no pushing you off for weeks or months (as I've heard from other places). Accept many forms of insurance.

worst dentist ever
by Joe Public
This is the most horrible dentist ever. Not only did I catch them padding the bill for my two daughters' wisdom teeth extraction by $3000, (it took me six months and the threat of a lawsuit to recover it!) but almost everything they have done has had to be fixed or repaired. A root canal for my daughter was done improperly, and she has to have another one. A simple $60 filling for me turned into a $1200 crown 2 years later because they failed to get all the decay out (there was no other hole in the tooth, so the dentist knew it had been improperly filled). They also told me it was ok to come only once a year for cleanings, since my gingivitis was 'under control' but when I came back, they claimed I needed a very expensive procedure that included 12 shots in my gums. I was told not to worry, insurance paid for it. If I had come in for the 6 mth, it wouldn't have been necessary I feel. They just wanted the extra money-I guess they don't make much on teeth cleanings.
Cons: dishonest
