Several months ago I posted how I was not happy with the dental work that I had done at Dr Rudy's at the Galleria. Thought that I would post a follow up which might be of interest to people considering using Dr Rudy.
I was in two minds right up until they started working on my teeth whether or not to have the work done in Bali. I have family members who permanently live in Bali and have done so since the Hippy years and they were the ones who eventually persuaded me to go
I made the appointment via email several months before going to Bali and highlighted that I wanted an appointment with Dr Rudy not the other dentists. The week before arriving I emailed Dr Rudy and all was confirmed that I was booked to see Dr Rudy
On arrival I was still apprehensive, but thought what the heck. I was shown to a room and a lady arrived, I first thought that she was the nurse but when she started questioning what I wanted done I asked if she was the nurse or the dentist. She assured me that she was the dentist and her work was as good if not better than Dr Rudy
I was originally going to have a tooth implant but then decided to have a bridge. The first appointment took about 2 hours, I was then told to come back 10 days later and the work would be completed.
10 days later I go back and she then decides to do some X Rays and tells me I need a root canal. I really didn't have much option because they can't do the bridge work over a tooth that has a problem. Hours later I emerge with my new root canal and bridge and a very numb mouth.
Next day my teeth didn't feel right but I decided maybe all needs to settle down. A month later still doesn't feel right and by this time I am complaining to all that will listen. I then realized that Dr Rudy provided a 5 year guarantee for his work so I decided to go back to Bali, and insist on seeing Dr Rudy.
Dr Rudy was great, he checked out the work and made a couple of minor adjustments. So far I am really happy with the work but was a little disappointed yesterday when my local dentist noticed the bridge and asked what Asian county I had the bridge done in. He said that the quality of work is different from Aust. (he is Asian)
Would I go back to Dr Rudy - not sure, maybe for minor work
