![]() They wanted to do a deep cleaning for over $350(my cost) and wanted to do it that day. Including an off site root canal bringing the total cost to over $3000. At the end I got a printout with what I thought were recomendations and prices. I went in for a cavity and they did x-rays and an evaluation. I chose Sage Dental from a short list of dentists to choose from. ![]() When I complained about how come their costs were so much, the reception guy who also handles billing said, “Well, we can’t help it if your insurance does not cover all expenses.” These corporate chain like Sage Dental is all about charging fees. Previous dentist every 6 months was covered by insurance and I had to do periodontal maintenance every 4 months so I was paying $130 for in-between visits. After all said and done, we have been paying over $1500 out of pocket after insurance. They also want to do deep cleaning on my wife who again goes regularly to our previous dentist. But here they want her and me to come every 3 months to get periodontal maintenance. My wife goes to our previous dentist every 6 months. I’ve been to multiple places for dentistry and never had to waste an additional day like this. They said they would need to schedule that on a separate day. I was surprised by this and asked why are we were not having routing cleaning. During our first visit, they just took x-ray and measured depth of our gum. The office and setup looked very professional, my wife and I were excited to find them so near home. Sage Dental just opened up near my home address. I changed my regular dentist office that I was going to for past 6 years due to the distance of 20 miles. Switching to Sage Dental was a huge mistake
