      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Unanswered
      I have attached an explanation in the supporting documents. In short, I paid my ortho account off a few days prior to an automatic payment. Auto pay was never cancelled so they took out another $128. No documentation was provided to *** account so card became inactive. They eventually charged back the money, I was told some time in September, but I think that the card was still inactive and the charge back never went through on the card. the manager said she would call their bank and find out if they took the money out on their end and changed her mind and told me I would have to contact the bank for the *** account. They money was never put back on the card and I would like to have a check sent out to me. I emailed the manager and called to follow up the next day. I was told she was busy on the phone and would call back. I am still waiting on the call back. Based on her attitude toward helping me get his issue resolved. I don't believe she will call back. I am still getting my braces finished through this office. My issue isn't with the dental place itself, rather than the clerical/billing/management. I love my braces and this is the best dentist office I have ever been to, but if this isn't resolved I can't see giving my business to a place that has people like this unwilling to help me after I have already paid an account that was over $4000.

      In spite of the great condition of my teeth, never any root canals, Dr. complimented my teeth. Then I saw the hygienist who said I needed a $1050 deep cleaning! Yeah, right. That's what all the dental clinics are pushing to maximize profits after corporate consultants reccomended it. Capital Dental took money I had paid for a regular cleaning. They did an extremely poor job, failing to get all back molars. Later when I objected, the office admitted a full cleaning was not done. Indeed they felt it was "wrong to do an above the gum cleaning when a deeper cleaning was necessary.!! THEN WHY DID THEY ACCEPT MONEY FOR A CLEANING??!! Capital Dental is part of the chain dentistry culture that aggressively markets totally unnecessary deep cleanings, also known as root planing and scaling. There is heavy periodontist objections online to this often unneeded procedure. Many patients report they BEGAN LOSING TEETH in short years after deep cleanings were done. Capital Dental is still billing me for the $95 that Mastercard refunded to me for this visit.
