Sexton Dental Clinic Florence, SC

omg

Just came back. Very pleased with the experience. I had been under the understanding from local dentist that I needed a lot of work, to the point dentures would be easier. 

 

The doctor at Sexton said no, they don't pull teeth just be pulling them, other than 4, the rest just needed filling. 

 

Saved me a lot of money. I appreciate that and the honesty. 

 

It's a busy place. The staff moves very quick to accommodate the number of people that show up. Don't expect it to be like going to your local dentist.  

 

I know three others that have been there. That makes 4 of us. 3 are very pleased, one, not so much. But, he'd go back if he needed too

I've been to Sexton's three times now with my most recent yesterday. Everytime they have been great! I never once felt uncomfortable. They have a very relaxed setting each time that helps with the process. The staff got me in and out in a flash and always asked me what I wanted to get done. I will gladly return for my dental needs. Thanks y'all!

I took my son to Sexton on his 50th birthday to have his remaining teeth removed, and plates made. I needed new dentures, so thought this would be a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and spend some quality time with my son. The dentist looked in my sons mouth for about 2 minutes, and refused to pull his teeth - although they were worn down into the quick, and causing him much discomfort (he survives on orajel), dentist said he had good roots and refused to pull them. He went next door to a competitive clinic, and they were ready to go ahead immediately to the tne of $4500. So what I'm seeing here, is false advertising. 

They offer to pull your teeth for $18 each, only specifying an additional fee if they are wisdom teeth, but when it begins to look complicated, they refuse to do it. 

I went ahead and had my denture made. This is my 3rd set, so I didn't just fall off the punkin truck. I always have to "adjust" a bit with a dremel tool, but it always works  

out. When they fitted the new denture, I couldn"t elieve it - they hurt everywhere, I even questioned if these were my dentures 

I was assured they were. I had them grind on them some, and got nowhere. I had been 

waiting off and on since 6AM, and this point was disgusted and wanted to go home. Told the girl I would work on them myself. She said I looked like the kind that owned a dremel tool, and sent me on my way. MISTAKE 

I've been trying to fit these teeth for two days. I'm about ready to throw them away. 

The fit and finish are both terrible. They are very rough, both inside and out, still have white rubber used in impression molding stuck to them, and grind marks all over. They called me to ask how my dentures were, 

(Elaine) When I explained she of course wanted to know when I could come back. 6 hrs each way, plus hotel room=cost of the denture, and this is not the bottom set, but the signature. It's cheaper to throw them away. SO If you're thinking about going to Sexton -DON'T. You wont be happy, and you are wasting your money.

To any and all prospective patients of Sexton Dental who are reading these comments, I implore you to disregard any and all claims that this practice is a "scam". For two years I've been too self-conscious to smile because of horribly damaged/decaying front teeth. 

 

Why? Well first, let me tell you what *IS* a scam: dental insurance. They take a chunk out of every paycheck, then cover just enough for maintenance...which I guess is useful if you don't have any serious dental problems, but do have too much money. Coverage doesn't begin until months after you've been paying for it. They offered no coverage for "unnecessary extras" like anesthesia for extractions. If you've arrived at this page and are considering Sexton, you already know this. 

 

Two days ago, I went there and got full treatment over the course of about 8 hours, and that includes examinations, x-ray, consultation, 8 extractions, impressions, upper and lower immediate dentures, prescriptions, and aftercare plan. I took a picture of my big beautiful smile on my cellphone as soon as I was back in the car, and sent it to my mother. Total price: a little over $500. 

 

Now check the math. If you think that's a scam, your problems are more mental than dental. 

 

As for the quality of the staff, that's a separate matter. Some people have said they were rude. 

 

Were they rude to me? No, not at any point. Maybe I just got lucky and got the right people on the right day. Maybe one of the above complainers just got unlucky...or maybe they themselves have an attitude problem. Maybe no one was rude at all, but they're a neurotic to the point where if they don't feel liked and validated by every person they interact with that they experience things in a more personal context.

I went to sextons and had to be rushed to the hospital!! They suck!! They killed somebody also!! The doctors @ the hospital thought I was going to make it either!! Know roots are place upon them!!!

I made a trip to Sextons Dental Clinic on 6/02/11.I had read some of those whiney comment and I was concerned. I was welcomed at the front door by the lovely Elaine,smiling and joking at 6am.I went thru the paperwork and was told by a smiling lady which way to go.The whole clinic was so well organized you had very short waits between the people you have to see.The whole day was professional back I was made to feel wanted. Dr. Scott was knowledgably,professional,caring and keeped a smile the whole time.As he worked he told me everything before it happened .I honestly felt nothing ,I felt nothing even from the 5 shot .I didn't know I had gotten the shots.When the extractions where done he had to tell me he was finished.If you are thinking about trying out Sexton's .There is nowhere in the country that match the Professionalism,Friendliness,Cleanliness and State of the art facility.

Agree totally with u fl girl....n for all that feel mistreated...at the endof the day.....who have u mistreated? Honestly.....let God deal with them, and I can trully say its no scam, and for. What u r spending DO NOT EXPECT to put california in ga....so u want better dentures PAY FOR THEM, they actually have more expensive ones....buy em or pay for what "ur money" can afford n STOP complaining! Sheeesshhh! I don't care who is rude to me as long as they don't invade my box..they r good! So I will say yep ssexton is on point! Ima 38 yr old woman who had to have all my teeth removed at the age of 34 because of sickle cell issues n sexton was all I could afford n I'm good! So trust they r cool...n u may just get a rude person when u go...it may b suesue,or maemaee,but maemae may have been nice to charlie on wed n suesue was rude to him on thurs,but nice to mary on mon sooooooo get over urself n stop taking their stress so personal. U go work there n deal with dif personalities day in n day out.."up close n personal". People will sue thaz what dey do...n RIP but people do die also...thaz what God do.  

 

BEZ FOLK BIG UPS TO SEXTONß U MADE ME SMILE AGAIN..n that day! Soooo thanks!

I have been 2 times to Sexton Dental Clinic and bot times i still cant wear my teeth thats 1000 throwed out the window plus gas motel n etc . And 80 % of the people are rude lie bout the prices .

I went to Sexton Dental Clinic on Friday, March 4th, 2011 and here is my experience.1. I have read people complaining that they treat you like a little kid or a herd of cattle by making you line up. WHAT A JOKE! PLEASE! It is nothing like that. They open the doors and ask you to form a line at the check in desk. What is the big deal about that? You would normally form a line in any other dr office is there were people a head of you there. They have NO choice, but to do this because of the number of people that show. Okay so I get to the check in desk, the lady there was a little rude to me, her name was Elainor or Elaine? Excuse spelling. She asked me what I was there for, told me to remove all jewelry from neck up and I was sent to a little window area where I talked to Sally whom was nice, filled out my paperwork and then was sent to the next waiting room. I was number 6. They had no clocks around and my cell was turned off so can\'t tell you what my waiting times were. But not too long after, I was called to the back to get my xray and exam. The lady who did my xray was nice.2. EXAM - My exam was done by Dr. Scott. He was neither rude nor friendly to me. He was straight to business which did not bother me because like I said, he wasn\'t rude. I had wanted to get my upper teeth pulled and denture then a partial in my lower teeth. He immediately told me upon looking at my xrays and doing an exam that I would not be getting that done. He explained that he would remove my lower left wisdom, my upper right wisom and 4 of my teeth on the front. I asked him \"what about the other teeth that are causing me pain?\" in which he explained that they were still good, just had cavities that needed taken care of and such. 3. I left from there and spoke to a very nice, sweet and friendly lady about my partial. She helped me pick out the shade of the teeth and talked with me more about just needed to get my cavities taken care of and to get a teeth cleaning done. She was awesome. I wish I could have gotten her name! 4. From there, it was time to pay. I had to pay $125 per wisdom tooth, $18 per other teeth, $65 for the xray and exam, $10 infection control fee and $7 surgical fee. My only complaint here is the lady wrote down that my partial was $175, but when I got up there the lady looked at my papers, talked to another nurse whom both looked at me then chatted some more. Then she changed it to $209 and I was like \"well, I thought it was $175\" and she got a little snotty saying \"well if you want the signature it is $209, the custom is $175\" but the lady had written on there that I wanted signature and it was $175. It was almost like they thought I had magically changed the price and was trying to rip them off. But I was like whatever, I\'ll just pay the $209. No biggie, it\'s what I need and still cheaper than local dentist offices here in FL.5. EXTRACTION TIME - Dr. Scott explained to me that the shots were the worse part. He was very nice and encouraging throughout the whole process. During the shots, he said he knew it hurt, but he was almost done and I was doing good, asked me if I was okay, etc. Once finished, he left to go check on another patient while I numbed up. Once I numbed up, he came back and started extracting. Throughout the whole process of that, he remained very nice and kept telling me how much of a good job I was doing, asking if I was alright, etc. Then I was done. I was handed a little bag with my prescriptions in it and an info paper on post extractions then was sent to get my impressions made (they had to pull my teeth first cuz they probably would have broken off during the impression if they hadnt)6. This was a different lady whom was also nice, She did my impressions and by the time she was done, I had blood and spit all down my face from having my mouth open. Instead of just handing me a wet paper towel or sending me to the bathroom, she cleaned it all off my face for me. I went to wait again. The lady from before who helped me pick out my partial called me back again to make my bite, but then realized I didn\'t did one so she explained to me that when they called my number that I could leave and come back at 12:30-1 to pick up my partial. We also went over the teeth color of my partials again to make sure I was getting the ones I really wanted. Before I left her, she gave me gauze to put back in my mouth, but I couldn\'t get it right so she repacked my mouth with it so that it wouldn\'t be sticking out of my mouth and nobody would see it. 7. It was probably around 8:30 at this point. I got my prescription filled. They have their own pharmacy there. It literally look about 2-3 minutes for the lady to fill it. She was also nice. It cost $24 total, $12 each for the pain killers and antibotics. I then left to go sit in the car with my fiance who had been sleeping in the car cuz we drove all night.8. Returned at 12:30pm. This is where I was like \"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I WANNA LEAVE\" lol. I was sooooooo tired and although I was number 6, they do not call out denture and
