Jungermann Dental Care

In 2015 i went in for a simple cavity filling done by Dr. Alex. 6 months later, at my next check up I’m told that the filming was not completely sealed, and that it was rotting underneath the filling. They then told me that I needed a full blown root canal. I was furious and still am. Cavity fillings are the most basic dental procedure, so you shouldn’t mess up and then have your patents later need more work because of your sloppy work. They also make billing very confusing! They send bills that insurance is supposed to pay, then later send another letter saying that the insurance did pay the bill, and that they will refund you. I would not recommend this office.

I will preface this by saying I am in sales. When I went to this office the sales push was so much, I would feel intimidated and uncomfortable. The dental hygienist would push then the Dr. Would come in and push even more. They also made everything sound horrible and serious with my dental health — this was an attempt to scare me and sell more. I finally decided I was not going back due to the high pressure and uncomfortable environment. Turns out the new dentist I went to said my teeth and gums are healthy and the one area of concern they had was legitimate, they took pictures free of charge to show me (Jungermann dental missed this issue while busy trying to make sales). The new office I am going to was kind and patient and said let us know when or if you would like corrective measures taken and also let me know what the result would be if I chose to wait. Everything was up to me. I would never recommend Jungermann dental care. It is a very awkward and very uncomfortable experience.

I haven’t seen Dr. Alex for a couple of years, what a difference my new dentist has made. Something isn’t wrong every time I walk in. I get my exam, my cleaning and on my way I go.
I saw this article today on MSN and my first thought was, OMG, reminds me of the terrible years I spent at Jungermann Dental, a must read.
Quote: «There’s an invisible problem in dentistry: some dentists using „creative diagnosis“ to perform unnecessary work in the interest of making extra money.» — THAT is what happens At Jungermann Dental.
Ever saw the musical «Little Shop of Horrors»? remember the dentist… If you haven’t look it up on youtube and prepare for that experience if you come here.

Dr. Alex Wojtyna: STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY. Very unprofessional, he makes promises he can’t keep, deadlines he can’t meet, and grossly misdiagnoses for financial gain. He’ll act like he’s going out of his way to schedule you an appointment before or after business hours free of charge «just to get you in» because you’re in agonizing pain, like he’s doing you a favor, but then you’ll later see he charged your insurance. He’s distracted in the office, constantly walking around texting and ignoring the patients and their questions/​concerns. He always seems very annoyed, definitely not a people person. He blows off any complaints or questions as if they’re stupid and you don’t know what you’re talking about, then will set you up with some mouthwash or toothpaste just to shut you up and briskly rush off. I recently spoke with an old friend who used to be his dental assistant, who described him as a «con artist» with a very powerful legal team behind him. GET A SECOND OPINION BEFORE YOU LET DR. ALEX TOUCH YOU! I guarantee the second diagnosis from anywhere else will be far less severe and expensive.

I want to share my experiences that we have had with Dr. Alex for about two years. He appears to be a nice guy and certainly has a degree of skill in his profession but his focus and that of his team is primarily sales. I wish someone would have steered me the other way when I was looking for dentists. My wife and I have both had invisalign through Jungerman Dental that did not get our teeth straighten like we were led to believe. infact my wife had to go to another dentist to have a tooth gap repaired. The gap was created by them to allow for the invialign to work. You will experience considerable pain for most if not all procedures. Patient comfort is given very little attention. I now have a cap that is broken that Dr Alex has replaced twice. I have had the cap less than two years. I have spent thousands of dollars and cannot believe I did not say good bye to them earlier. I have now found a wonderful dentist. I will need to pay him to fix the crown. Please read all the reviews and look elsewhere for your dental needs.

Originally I went to Dr Alex for invisaligns. Can’t screw those up too much. (he did)
I too got a new cap… front tooth. I had a temp put on first of course, and it fell off every other day. Front tooth, I’m a professional… it was horrible. Each new cap that came in for me was off color, too big, wrong etc.(I don’t consider that his fault) But he almost wanted me to keep them to get me out of the office. I declined of course. I finally settled on a very ugly front tooth. I hate impressions and could not go thru with yet another one. (each time a new cap needed a new impression needed) What a joke.
I also at the time had a couple checkups — I was always told one of my teeth needed drilled out and I would need it capped. But glory be next week they had a sale on caps. That happened twice. What a coincidence huh?
I now go to a different dentist. I don’t need any teeth drilled or any new caps. Oh and they never have a sale either.

Another update… my root canal cap lasted almost a year. I went back in to have it fixed. They gave me another temporary cap (which fell off within 4 days)…my permanent cap will be put in Friday. I hope it lasts this time.

«Dr. Alex» is a total hack with an awful bedside manner and a serious lack of skills. Without going into gory details of his gross incompetence, I’ll simply strongly suggest you look elsewhere for an honest and proficient dentist.

I went to Jungermann Dental prior to it being Purchased by a greedy conglomerate, before Dr. «Alex». It was fine they did their job and you didn’t feel as though you had just been robbed. After the buyout it became nothing but a money grubbing practice. They tried to push everything on you that can be done. Going as far as telling me if I want to keep my teeth I had to get invisilign. When I declined Dr. Alex threw his arms up and stormed out told me there was nothing he could do for me. Then he gets a partner who tells me my bite is good but I needed a deep cleaning. My share after insurance would only be $ 850. I removed my paper bib and walked out. My husband continued to see him. Every time he did any work the tooth next to it would go bad and he had that fixed and so and so on. Lat night he was up all night in excruciating pain. I said please don’t go back to that dentist. I convinced him to call my new dentist who is farther away. It is so screwed up that He now has to go to a specialist to have it repaired and will have to take two separate days off work because it takes two trips to do a retreatment. He really likes the new guy and glad he finally switched. By the way I had to get a crown on the one filling Dr. Alex had put in, Don’t go to this place you will walk out of there feeling like you need to report a robbery!

I recently moved to Missouri leaving behind excellent dentist experiences in LA and Denver. Knowing not much of the area, I decided to go to Jungermann Dental since it’s the closest to me, and I thought it would be convenient.
The appointment making process was quick and easy. The staff was friendly and great too.
HOWEVER, they slam you at the end with their prognosis being the more extreme of options and over-​pricing you for those procedures. When I went to get a second opinion, I took in the report received from Jungermann Dental. They re-​examined the same things and recommended less abrasive measures thus costing me less in insurance and out-​of-​pocket cost.
After the fact, I’ve heard multiple people comment the same discontent towards Jungermann Dental. I personally will not trust Jungermann Dental with my or my families dental care.
