Center for Family & Cosmetic Dentistry - Dr. Firouzian outrageous fees, broken and failing veneers, substandard aesthethics Columbus, Ohio

Reasons he gave initially for the giant, "over-exaggerated" veneers that he installed were that he did not make a wax-up model before hand, so the laboratory had to craft the veneers using photographs only. Also, he said that the first laboratory he sent the veneers to was not a very good lab, but that they had a fast turnaround time. The second set of veneers he installed, he said he sent to a different lab which produced better results. Although the second set of veneers was better, they are not functional as one lateral incisor has already broke, and the other lateral incisor shifts in my mouth whenever I eat. I try to eat with my back teeth only to avoid moving the veneers and possibly damaging them.

I don't feel that these will last me 10 years and I feel that I wasted over $5000 on sub standard cosmetic dentistry.

This office is ruthless when it comes to upselling cosmetic dental procedures. Even the receptionists get in on the act. The cosmetic outcome in my case was way below what my expectations were. I've since looked at some of his case photos and I can see that he generally makes large, unbalanced teeth that appear more like dentures than natural teeth.

The whole office is rushed due to patients stacked back to back. It was impossible for the dentist to really spend the time required for a good cosmetic outcome because he was working on 2 or 3 of us at once.

Please be careful of this office. I wish I had never gone there. I'm looking at thousands of dollars to repair what's broken. I had a balance on my account of about $300. When I asked them to make an arrangement with me the head receptionist there sent my balance to a collection agency with a 40% fee tacked on. So I'm walking away from their office $5000 poorer and a bill from a legal office. I'm also walking away with a broken veneer and one that moves and will likely break or fail soon.
