Went back in 2018 for a crown. Had to go back twice because it kept falling off. They fixed it for free each time however, now in 2022 my new dentist discovered my crown was never on correctly and has been spreading an infection throughout my mouth. I now have to get what's left of the tooth extracted and crowns on the two surrounding teeth. Spend the extra money you have now elsewhere instead of thousands more down the road.
