Review of Antwerp House Dental Practice

I have been regularly going to Antwerp Dental practice for a few years as private patient. Unfortunately, every single treatment (crowns/fillings etc) has been a failure: crowns kept coming off and need re-cementing and fillings were not properly done (most of the recently performed fillings need re-doing as infiltration has occurred by further compromising the teeth). Professionally done fillings should last a few years, most fillings done at Antwerp in the last 3-4 yrs have deteriorated and need re-doing (it means additional high costs and further damage to my teeth).
Last spring I went in for an urgent check-up a couple of days before my holiday due to a persistent/severe pain (pre molar). No X-ray performed (infection would have been detected by a simple X-ray) and I was "reassured" nothing was wrong despite the severe pain.
While on holiday, I had to undergo an urgent surgical procedure (apicectomy) and take high doses of antibiotics.

I am now going to a different practice where I need to spend significant amount of time and very large amount of money trying to fix the several problems ignored/not-diagnosed/poorly treated by my dentist at Antwerp through the years.
After my poor experience at Antwerp, I sought other opinions from different dentists/practice and sadly all have confirmed my situation has been compromised by very poorly performed treatments and check ups in the last few years.
