Dr. Levi Maltby DMD

I am still struggling with depression over having my front tooth shaved up to my gum line and given a partial. I had enough of a tooth left for it to be crowned as also stated by another dentist. I am just like many other patients that do not understand some procedure names. I didn't know that a partial was basically a denture. I was under the impression that it was another name for a crown (a temporary replacement). I was never explained to about what a partial tooth was. I went in that day with excitement and got into the truck silent the whole ride home with tears pouring down my face unable to tell my husband what was wrong. I don't smile anymore, I barely leave home in order to avoid speaking to people. My life changed for the worst that day. The partial no longer fits. I now have bad anxiety at the thought of going to any dentist. I was so happy to be a patient of Dr. Maltby and ever since then I've been broken. An implant is the only option I have left and its just too much on me. I really hoped he'd fix this but after seeing and hearing how disappointed I was. I'm stuck with what was given to me. I had a second tooth that he suggested I get extracted somewhere else. Another dentist that does the extractions examined the tooth and told me the tooth could be saved. So he saved it and put a crown on it. Not to mention, nearly all of my fillings are gone and now I have worse problems. I'm still heartbroken and still feel like Dr. Maltby should have fixed this depressing situation out of the kindness of his heart and because he caused me to fall into a state of depression. He was the only dentist in Great Falls, Montana that I grew to trust and feel comfortable with. 4 years later and I’m still batting severe depression he’s caused me. He’s seen my review, my past emails an he not once tried to correct the problem. Go to a dentist that cares about you and your health and not just in it because the payout is beautiful.
