When you keep seeing ads from dental service chains, you may start thinking they must be providing good dentistry to patients.
However, sometimes a scam company will flood the internet, radio, and TV with ads, then disappear, due to customer complaints, and law enforcement cracking down on them. What may seem popular and successful today can be nowhere tomorrow.
Don't let a con artist dentistry company ruin your mouth and raid your wallet!
Dentistry is an opaque subject to most people, a real mystery. Few understand how to tell if a dentist is telling the truth or trying to exploit them.
But your teeth are the jewels of your mouth. You need them to chew food, uphold the structure of your face, and display a nice smile. Serious mistakes related to teeth and oral health can be very dangerous.
Unfortunately, big corporate dental service chains are preying on people, even in the Peoria, IL area.
You should do some online research into dental services, treatments, and practices before choosing a dental provider. You can also contact other dentists to get a second and third opinion if an expensive dental treatment or a costly series of treatments is being recommended.
A poorly executed dental service or oral surgery can disfigure your face and lead to grim consequences, like infections and jaw problems.
Con artists use common tricks. They promise fast results and mock how long it takes traditional dentists to do work. They'll promise discounts, but may pull a fast one, adding hidden charges and even engaging in fraudulent insurance claims.

Bank Rate quotes James Quiggle, a spokesman for the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud:
"The most frequent dental scams are inflating claims, delivering worthless treatment that patients don't need and billing insurers for phantom treatment that the dentist never delivered," he says. "Dentists also may have a staffer do procedures that only a dentist is licensed to perform, yet bill as if the dentist had done the work."
