Bluffton Center for Dentistry

I hate to write bad reviews but I have to lay it on the line about Bluffton Dentistry since I am beyond disappointed with them. Yes, everyone is nice and courteous but please take note of these points before you go and see them. To begin with, I have had two teeth cleanings with them and each time I went, I felt like I was back in grade school with the teacher reprimanding me for not handing in my homework on time. I told them that I only wanted yearly cleanings since my Soni-​care and thrice daily teeth brushings have left my teeth healthy. This has been my schedule from the last two dentists I went to after moving over the past five years. There is no need to have 6 month cleanings unless they want more money and you don’t mind paying it. That brings up the second point. I was told I needed a new crown because Dr Porcelli couldn’t find the solution to the problem on my tooth. It was painful to chew. So I obliged (for $ 1200) and had the crown done… only to continue having pain. His solution was to shave my teeth down (three times to be exact) so now I have food that is constantly getting caught in the shaved areas. I really had had it since I was told that they were going to cap another tooth since it must be a fissure on the other tooth causing me the pain. At that point, I went to Angie’s List (believe it or not) and called Towne Center Dentistry in Pooler. yes, it’s a bit of a drive but I am glad I did. I soon found out the there are quotas for groups like Bluffton Center for Dentistry and private businesses operate differently. I paid less for my initial xrays and cleaning and, lo and behold, they solved the problem with a simple filling… after everything I went through BCFD. So, think about this before you make your appointment and really do your homework.

Bluffton Center for Dentistry is dentistry on a different level. The entire staff has a «chair-​side-​manner» that makes you feel their commitment to really listening to your needs. They operate the business in a no-​pressure manner, encouraging clients to feel really content that every decision they make, regarding their services, is the best decision for their oral health.
Each time I inquired about products used, they were attentive and quickly showed me the product and the ingredients labels so that I could feel confident about the high quality products. They are using the highest quality products for all of the services provided. They were knowledgeable about dangerous and controversial topics in dentistry. They took the time to thoroughly listen and explain the pros and cons of each situation.
Dr. Porcelli and his staff are committed to excellence. They take the time to both explain each procedure and to follow it through until the client is 100% satisfied with the results. The very aesthetic office is calm and well run. I often feel as though I’m going to the spa.
