Because I do not have dental insurance, I have been looking for a dentist practice that would be reasonable. I saw an ad for a special with Emmert and thought it would be a good thing to try (exam, cleaning and x-rays for $50). Two days before my visit though I woke up with a very sore tooth and thought I had a root canal problem. I called Emmert and they said I could come over and have an x-ray and an exam to check out what the problem may be. The dentist looked at the x-ray and probed a couple of my teeth and determined that i would need a large filling and may after getting it open determine whether or not I would need further work like a crown, etc. I made an appt for the next week for a filling and then the receptionist gave me the bill for the short exam and x-ray - $147.00!!!! I could have fallen over but what could I do. I mentioned that I never expected it to be that much - no response - so I cancelled the appt for the filling and decided to call my usual dentist who I had thought up to then was high. He would have charged me something like $80 for the exam and x-ray. I would NEVER ever recommend Emmert Dentists and I think they are very shady in the way they don't tell you up front what your appt is going to cost, even though they say they will always inform you. Go somewhere else! This was the Robinson Township office but I'm sure the practice is the same at the other offices.
