DANGER! DANGER! DANGER! Stay away from Friendly Smiles Dental Group in Santa Maria, California. Dr K. will lie, cheat and steal your money with lousey dental practices and poor customer service. I had 2 teeth pulled by him which went fine. Then he recommended dental implants to replace the teeth. After spending almost a $1000 on 3D dental crash, full mouth scans, and examinations he said "even though the bone where the implants would was thin he could add bone and the implant would take and be successful". I asked him several times if he was sure the implant would work and he said "yes". I wanted to make sure because It was very expensive and didn't want spend slot of money if it was unsuccessful. Ho told me that if it didn't' work he would refund my money. After almost 4 months of bone addition and prep he installed the stud which he said was fine. After a few weeks he installed the post and tooth which he said was fine. When the pain killers wore off the new tooth did not feel right he said wait get use to it and it will be fine, within a month the tooth was loose and falling out. I went back and he removed the implant because it had destroyed the bone and had stripped out of the position. He said we had to again rebuild the bone and do the implant again. After more money spent and another 3 month wait more crazy and exams he finally said he could not do the implant. After spending almost $4000 and a year of discomfort he said he would refund my money. He said he would refund $2450, I agreed to that amount because I felt some of the charges could apply to my norm a l dental work as well. He told me we would recoverable our $2450 in about 2weeks. When we received the check it was only for $1300. We called him and he said he only refunds 50 per cent on failed dental work. He never said that at any other time during any other conversations about the work or refunds and he agreed to a refund of $2450. We have a copy of the charges and the amount he was going to refund with his letterhead on it. We called him thinking it was a mistake that's when he/his staff became very defensive and rude saying the never agreed to that amount and that's all we were going to get. We tried a couple times to talk with them and each time they only became ruder and distasteful.
We will never go back to Friendly Smiles or Dr K. every again. And would recommend anyone having any serious work find another dentist. I lost over $2500 and have much less bone in my jaw now thanks to Dr K. We will be seeking legal counsel and taking him to court for malpractice and pain a nd suffering. Stay away if you value your health and money.
