I went to Dr. Gray as I had an broken tooth and my new dental HMO assigned me to Gray Dental. I was very grateful that they managed to squeeze me in, even though my tooth wasn't hurting (yet, that is). I went, they took a few x-rays and did a pretty reasonable exam. Then she told me that not only did I need my broken tooth crowned, but I needed all my other fillings replaced with crowns. And I needed another filling. I agreed to have the broken tooth crowned. Then they told me the cost: $800/crown--and that was WITH insurance. The price breakdown gave the normal price as TWICE that much--Almost $1500 per crown! They put on the temporary crown which was extremely painful and remained so for days. Actually, when I went to another dentist for a second opinion, I had to have it fixed. Thankfully, they did a good job putting on the permanent crown--no problems (yet). My second opinion dentist said I didn't need any fillings replaced, nor did I have any cavities in need of filling. He also said the price list was crazy--they slapped a ""room charge"" onto each procedure. Another friend of mine who is a dentist (but doesn't live in Nashville) also said that price breakdown seemed really high. Anyhow, needless to say, I won't be going back.
Pros: Dr. Julie Gray was very friendly
Cons: Rip-Off, very painful!
