Dalwin Bruce, DDS

I have been seeing Dr. Dalwin for several years and have never had a bad experience. I have found some dentists to be too lax and others to be too aggressive. It’s not that they were right or wrong, but their styles did not mesh well with my preferences. Dr. Dalwin has always explained the options, made recommendations, and then engaged in a conversation with me about what is best. I like the others that I’ve dealt with in their office and I think they have an excellent client-​focused culture.

I lost a tooth (and am paying for a very expensive implant) because Dr. Dalwin didn’t refer me to another dentist to have a root canal. He simply prescribed penicillin and assured me the problem would clear itself up.
And then he completely missed another abscessed tooth. Fortunately, I changed dentists in time to catch the 2^nd tooth.

I have had work done by Dr. Dalwin, including a root canal and crown. I have never had a problem and have been told by other dentists that the work done on my teeth was just fine. I think that you had a bad experience with him and that is unfortunate.
He was my dentist for 15 years with no problems. Once I got divorced, he no longer took my insurance and that is the only reason why I do not use him any longer. My ex and my children continue to use him as their dentist.
I have always found him to be a good, kind person and a wonderful dentist. Dan, I am sorry you found otherwise.

I am posting a follow-​up review just to let other Unilocalers know about my experience and be forewarned about the type of service this dentist provides. From the minute he put the crown on, I could tell there were very large gaps between the adjacent teeth. I was assured it was OK then and during follow-​up appointments. I got a cleaning elsewhere and that dentist said the crown was improperly installed. I asked Dr. Dalwin about this and he said that «dental assistant women do not know what they are talking about». I saw another dentist for a cleaning and they too mentioned the bad crown so I went to a third dentist just to get another opinion and present Dalwin with abundant opinions that his work was not good. He offered to redo the work but that was not a reasonable option as he did a bad job the first time and then lied about it. I wanted a refund as I would need the bad crown redone.
Rather than offer a refund, he mentioned the stature of limitations had passed and he could not be sued so I was out of luck. Luckily I have good legal advice and I pointed out that by confirming the work was good he actually extended the wrongdoing and could still be held liable in the court of law. Only when threatened with a lawsuit did he offer a 50% refund on his shoddy work. I took the offer just to be done with it. He said he would have to refund my money in two installments. He drug his feet and had to be called and reminded multiple times for the first payment which took months to come and again for the second payment. All told, I waited EIGHT MONTHS before he actually paid me what he promised.
I get the crown replaced in two weeks and guess what? I am being charged half of what he charged for the same crown! Bad service at 200% of the cost.
This guy is terrible avoid him like a root canal.
