Pro Dentures

The entire staff was pleasant, professional, and helpful. Pleasant at a dentists? I know, right. Not that there wasn’t some bad this is why I hate going to dentists moments. The permanent dentures fit so well I don’t need glue. Highly recommend.

Dr. Searby and his staff have always been very very kind to me. Reasonably priced, and he accepts my insurance = WIN! I’ve always been treated with respect, and he and his staff always make me feel comfortable. I’ve recommended them to several people.

Thank you Dr Searby and staff. A first class job from start to finish. The most reasonable priced dental work you can find. I am happy…

In the fall of 2012, my father was recommended to go to a dentures specialist due to severe periodontal disease. My father and mother decided to go to Dr. Searby for the treatment due to the cheap price. Dr. Searby’s treatment was to: 1) remove all the upper teeth and most of the lower teeth 2) get a full denture for his upper jaw and a partial denture for the lower jaw.
About 10 months later, I had to step in and help my parents because they felt poorly treated by Dr. Searby. My father was currently wearing the temporary dentures and they were ill fitted causing sores to develop. My father’s profile also drastically changed (ape/​duck face). Upon telling Dr. Searby at the visit, he seemed as if we were a nuisance. He was extremely defensive about his work and talked to us in a condescending manner. I tried to give the doctor a couple more tries because everybody has bad days, but every visit after that was worse. At the final visit I insisted that the dentures be redone. Dr. Searby adamantly refused and I told him that we would see another doctor. He offered to give us a full refund if we gave back everything including the temporary dentures. I countered with a partial refund to keep the temporary dentures because my father would have no way to eat or talk. Dr. Searby refused so I left with the temporary dentures and no refund (partial/​full).
We eventually got an appointment with a prosthodontist a week later. The prosthodontist said that my father would have to remove the remaining teeth on the lower jaw because they were bad and had no support. A partial denture on the lower jaw would not be the right treatment. The reason that the profile changed was the lower teeth fell forward because they were not stable/​healthy enough to hold up the partial denture. Our current prosthodontist is always professional and the dentures are perfect. His profile looks as it did before the dentures. We wasted a lot of time and effort with Dr. Searby and I was treated like a little child. I eventually had Dr. Searby give my father a refund and revoke the insurance claim once I gathered enough evidence (letters, CT scans, X-​rays, etc.) from both the current prosthodontist and surgeon.
TL:DR Don’t go to this doctor no matter how cheap the price is. What you pay for is what you get. Preferably go to a dentist that does dentures well or a prosthodontist.
