Terrible experience. I had 2 teeth done. One on top and one on the bottom. The lower had 2 minor cavities on the sides. Dr. Sigman emphasized it was a very simple procedure. From his explanation and my X-rays, it seemed to be. Still, he managed to do a bad job - he sealed the cavities unevenly on the lower tooth. 4 days later I went back because the lower tooth developed dull pain when I bit and chewed. Turned out, because of his shoddy sealing job, my tooth had cracked and needed a crown. At 26 years old, I don't have perfect teeth, but my teeth are strong enough to resist cracking. I know this because I went to my regular dentist, and he confirmed that Dr. Sigman's work caused the crack. Arguably, the worst part was Dr. Sigman's complete denial of responsibility. Despite his sheepish behavior, which seemed to demonstrate that he felt bad, he failed to acknowledge what he did, and simply told me I might need a crown. I don't know if what happened was an aberration or a normal occurrence for Dr. Sigman. I do know that I will never go back, and would urge others to find another dentist to avoid what happened to me.

About Hygienist: The hygienist at the office is great. She is very nice, thorough, and clearly knows what she is doing. I wish I could back to the hygienist, but not to Dr. Sigman.
