This is my unfortunate experience with Dr. Unchali. In my initial visit, I needed a variety of work that needed to be done: 2 Wisdom teeth by a rec’d oral surgeon, 1 root canal by a rec’d endontist, and 3 cavities to be filled by Dr. Unchali, to be done in that order. After Dr. Unchali gave me the 3 fillings, I had major pain and sensitivity. I was popping Ibuprofen day and night. There was some communication with Dr. Unchali back and forth, “maybe needs adjustment”, etc. As it turns out, the reason why I was in so much pain was because he drilled down too far and touched the nerve, in more than one tooth. So I was given a prescription to go back to the original endontist. The endontist said ALL 3 fillings, actually needed root canals, so I basically had the 3 fillings for nothing! At this point I maxed out my dental coverage and emptied my FSA. Plus I would still need the crowns from Dr. Unchali for the all the root canals and I’m already out of money. I went back to Dr. Unchali and I said please, at least give me a good price for crowns (for his bad fillings mistake) and he said no. He said that I didn’t need the crowns right away, and he would just fill it temporarily and I could come back in 2026 when my insurance kicks in for the crowns. For that I had to pay $300 from my pocket for the temporary fillings. He should have had the experience and knowledge from looking at the x-rays, that fillings were never needed in the first place. I should have been sent straight to the endontist for the root canals from the beginning, but I think he wanted the money for himself to do the fillings instead of outsourcing all the work. It was not responsible and it ended up giving me a lot of pain and wasting money and time. And I forgot to say the first crown I had in his office it fall out after one month , Then I have to come back to do it again and I’m still in pain .
