I had the unfortunate experience of having two teeth extracted by Dr. Downing. I was experiencing intense pain from bone he had left exposed after the surgery. I went to my Endodontist and he informed me that I should go back to Dr. Downing and have him correct the issue. I should have gone somewhere else to correct his poor work. "He was angry that I sought a second opinion and that another doctor called him out on his shoddy work." He broke off the buckle plate "outer wall of bone" surrounding the extraction sight so that I now cannot have an implant. If you're considering this dentist, find someone else. He should not be practicing Dentistry. His highest concern is getting your money.
