Rita D Wright, DMD

Update: After over four years, multiple x-​rays and dental visits, I still have no cavities as claimed by this dentist. Furthermore, the multiple fillings my wife received from this dentist, but probably did not need, have cracked and now need replaced.
***
After moving, we went to this dentist. During an initial exam, my wife and I were told we had many new cavities. My wife scheduled her appointment for the fillings. The work was poorly done and my wife complained about rough spots catching on her inside of her cheek. She went back to have the work fixed only to have the dentist look briefly and say everything was fine. After the procedures, a bill came in the mail claiming they needed more money than our insurance provided. This was because the dentist had done unapproved procedures that our insurance did not cover without telling us. Their response when we questioned them was, «Oh, someone should have told you about it.» I decided to hold off getting my teeth drilled and was able to see my previous dentist while visiting relatives six month later. He examined my teeth, performed x-​rays, and found no cavities where she said there was, just a little staining. Unfortunately, my wife probably had teeth that were fine drilled and was over-​charged on top of it. Beware of this dentist.
Among all the other problems at this dentist, the staff amazingly asked me to leave our three-​year old son in the waiting room by himself after his cleaning so they could work on both my wife and me at the same time and seemed annoyed when I refused. Not very family friendly. Also, the cleaning for the three of us took roughly 2 hours on top of not starting at our appointed time! Very slow.

I would never recommend Rite Wright as a dentist… I had quite a bit of dental work done by her office, never happ[y with result… Dr. Wright recently put a new crown on a tooth that she recommended needed a crown, I had no problems with tooth before she worked on it…3 days later my tooth was becoming abscessed. I called Dr. Wright the evening the pain developed… no emergency contact number… next morning I was in excruciating pain, called her office Dr. Wright was not in and would not prescribe a antibiotic or painkiller until Monday when she could see me, doesn’t she know an abscessed tooth is a very serious situation and painful… I think she is the most unprofessional dentist I have ever encountered having lived all over the nation for the last 30 years.

I am reporting this Dentist to every organization that matters. I posted an earlier review regarding the poor dental malpractice and waited until I visited another dentist to confirm. In my own mouth, Wright DDS said I need 7 fillings replaced including a cap (previous work included a cap that had to be completely replaced for grossly wrong color and not seating properly). It was awful getting it removed the second time and replaced and a much more difficult procedure than the first time. I speak with a lisp now because she replaced a filling and made the tooth so wide and high, my jaw doesn’t close.
The very first problem was the hygienist told me my teeth looked great then the dentist wanted to fill 7 teeth and the other cap. This was very suspicious to me. In addition, my old dentist out-​of-​state, replaced all my silver fillings, a couple of years ago. She said the fillings all had new cavities and had to be replaced. I took my children to a new dentist and I completed my appt yesterday. I HAVE NO WORK NEEDED AND NEITHER DO MY KIDS. NO cavities, cap replacements– NADA!!! I reported this to my insurance and have provided copies of reports. I am so upset that someone would ‘fake’ work for money. They even sent us a letter telling us to spend the insurance money on something by the end of the year.
Unethical!!!
To top it off my husband waited over an hour to pick up our xrays and never got them. No wonder they didn’t want to release them!
