I went to Belton Modern Dentistry soon after they opened. I went there for a checkup, and I was really nervous because they were a newer business. The checkup went very well, and the Dental assistant (jennifer) was very kind. I later went back for a root canal, and it was the WORST dental experience I have EVER had! I was really nervous going in because it was my first root canal but the Dr. assured me that he was more than capable of doing the procedure. During the root canal I felt Dr. Boyce jerking around in my mouth a lot, but what was bothering me more than that was a terrible taste in my mouth and a burning in my throat. Dr. Boyce then stopped the procedure because he said that he got a piece of the drill bit stuck in my tooth and he had to take a picture so he knew where to go to get it out. I then told the dental assistant (not Jennifer, a younger girl) that I tasted bleach and it was burning my throat, she told me that they did not use bleach and they continued with the procedure. The burning got worse, and a long time later Dr. Boyce told me that he was not able to get the drill bit out and I would have to do the whole procedure again with a specialist. I left the office with my throat scorching and a disgusting taste in my mouth, I had never had a root canal before but I knew this could not be normal. I asked my husband (who had a root canal before) if this was normal and he had no idea what I was talking about. I needed to eat or drink something to get the taste out but my throat hurt so bad that I could not. The next morning I woke up and I had disgusting blisters all over the back of my mouth. I went back to the dental office and Dr. Boyce told me that the chemical they use to clean out the root has a little bleach in it and that I was having a "hyper reaction" to the bleach. They told me that the dental block that they use to keep the chemical from getting to the throat had a hole in it and the chemical got to my throat (then they should have stopped when I told them and fixed it). They apologized and sent me on my way. The rest of the week I spent going to the Doctor office, and throwing up, I had a fever of 102- 103, and I spent the whole week in bed because I felt like I was having a TERRIBLE hangover, and could not walk without getting dizzy, and to top it all off I lost 10 pounds in the week because I could NOT eat or drink anything (I sipped water, and attempted to eat apple sauce and chicken broth). They told me that I was having a hyper reaction but the Doctor (at the hospital)said that this was all normal symptoms for if someone were to drink bleach, the root canal specialist told me that the chemical was made to eat the tissue around your tooth, and thats what it did to the back of my throat. The specialist also told me that if I were pregnant, a small child, or an elderly person, this experience could have been life threatening. To top the whole experience off the drill bit got so jammed into my tooth that the specialist could not get it out and he told me that in the future it will rust and I will have to get a root canal again (which at that point, I am getting it pulled). I obviously did not go back to Belton Modern Dentistry but earlier this month we got a call from them telling us that they have been trying to send a bill from my procedures for the last 90 days, and that it was getting set back to them. My husband went in, with no intention of paying anything for what they did to me but they threatened to sent him to collections if he did not pay, so he did. The VERY NEXT DAY, we received a reminder for a check up, from Belton Modern Dentistry, so they obviously had out correct address. I will NEVER, EVER recommend Belton Modern Dentistry to anyone because, not only was it a terrible experience, but they were unapologetic and did not take credit for what they did.

I was looking for a new dentist and saw the recent opening of this place. I had an exam/cleaning/x-ray done and ended up getting fillings done on the same day. The entire staff was very friendly and I enjoyed being there, and talking with them. They were fast and efficient, and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a dentist!

Excellent painless experience!!
