What we got after his service: original problem never went away, my wife had incorrectly installed crown with the gap between the tooth and a crown that may be a reason for infection, shortened tooth, undermined faith in dentists and moral humiliation. After that crown fell off, and he had to write a complaint to dental commission to get our money back for his unprofessional services.

She unsuccessfully tried to take a cast for the crown 4 times. During that time saliva was all around my face and clothes. Nobody even offered a napkin and she had to wipe saliva with her hand. During this unsuccessful attempts she repeatedly hit my front teeth with metal tools, and I think everybody understands how painful it is. Finally, Elizabeth decided to ask Dr. Rizzo what is wrong and he told her that before taking a cast she had to dry saliva from the tongue. From fifth attempt she was able to take a cast and Dr. Rizzo didn’t even checked it. At that time Dr. Rizzo was eating a sandwich while leaving the office (windows are facing the parking lot and I saw that). Looks like Dr. Rizzo believes in professionalism of his assistants because he didn’t bother to check if the temp crown was comfortable or not, he left before his as

Dr. Rizzo is incompetent and lacks the skills/knowledge necessary to claim he's a "cosmetic" dentist.

Should not offer Invisalign at his practice as he is extremely incompetent in this area. I question his training and expertise. Do yourself a favor and find an Ortho or a competent dentist who knows how to treat patients with Invisalign.
