Beware of Larry Stroud

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My daughter contacted Dr. Larry Stroud for mini implants in March 2017. He informed her that after she had her teeth extracted 'which he did not perform that procedure' he could do the mini implant procedure, she informed him she didn't have the money to get her teeth pulled at that time but he charged her $11,000 through Care Credit at that time. She informed him that she could not afford the payment so he lowered the charge to $8,000 for just the lower mini implants. She has been making payments for 10 months without having any work performed. Please beware of this dentist, we will be going to court.

Mr. Stroud has made no attempt to rectify this problem.

We are in another dispute with Care Credit, he owes us $3,500.00.

I am going to start billing him if this doesn't get resolved soon. I am very upset with his unethical business practices.

Beware of Dr Larry Stroud.

If you are elderly and need implants beware. First, mini implants aren't revolutionary. They've been around for 30 years. Second, the mini implants he uses , the company stopped making. He charges more for his mini implants than most charge for their standard implants. Many of his implants fail the first year. You don't hear about it because he makes you sign a paper not to tell anyone. If you want implants of any kind, get a second and even a third opinion. He likes to pressure u into giving him money. Don't sign anything until you are ready. He'll take your money anytime.

He uses temporary 2mm implant rods when the best ones are available, Which are the 3mm type used by other implant specialists, is what another expert advised my sister and I just a few days ago when we went in for an examination. My sister can’t even wear her bottom implant teeth because the surgeon that Stroud sent her to did not do a proper job on clearing out the excess bone gristle under her gums after he pulled her teeth.

But Stroud still put the rods in her mouth, and even after my sister went back for several examinations later (complaining) he just ignored her and sent her on her way $17,000 in debt. Since I received my implants I’ve had several of the implant stems fall out on the top of my top teeth, and several break off too. Yes, we were told by another specialist just a few days ago that Stroud uses the wrong size embedded gum to denture implanting stems/rods, and the 2mm he uses as permanent are not strong enough to be used for permanence, and that all dentists should know that a 3mm is what is needed for mini implants to be effective. The dental surgeon that Stroud sent my sister to treated her badly when she complained about the pain she was experiencing because of both of their incompetence of not properly performing their services with the client interests at heart, only to take her money at the incompetent costs of $11,000+ and $5,900.

Not all patients are the same and just because you do something good for one doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do even more for those patients that need extra care, especially at such a cost of having to go in debt. Thank God our brother is an attorney.!

Guest

thanks for info.. I went there once and was gonna do it and he tried to hook me in but I didn't fall for it

Guest

This doctor is a ***! He took our money and also cemented all implants in and they cannot be removed under any circumstance.

This is the wrong practice in doing so. Does not let you wear them for length of time before he CEMENTs them in forever. My wife is completely unsatisfied. There is a certain doctor in southern Indiana that does this procedure the correct way.

Do not trust this man. He has no pride in his work only interested in money

You better hope he’s using the proper sized implant rods/stems. Several of the 2mm he used before on me have broken off.

I found out just yesterday that a 3mm stem is what is necessary to be effective. My sister got treated so badly that she had to go to another dentist and was told the same thing I mentioned above, too small of dental rods. She has mini dental implants and can’t even wear her bottom ones because of the incompetent surgeon Stroud sent her to who did a perfunctory procedure.

Stroud went ahead and put the implants in anyway and so far 3 of the implants have fallen out. She’s out $17,000 to Stroud and his accomplice in negligence.

I highly recommend Dr Shroud to do your mini implants. He stands by every word on the tv commercials. He and his staff are great! I was really nervous as with most patients. They really make you feel at ease and comfortable. There really isn't much to it! The office is very clean. I have had 4 implants and I am getting ready to do another one. My father in- law and my husband have had all permanent uppers done and were also very pleased and have had no issues. I would highly recommend Dr. SHROUD!!

Dr Larry Stroud Dds - Happy With Larry Stroud, DDS and Staff
For 10 years I was almost a shut in , I never left my house due to my teeth. I was always known as Sunshine because i smiled all the time. I started losing my teeth at 45 by 59 I had lost all but a few and they were loose. My father-in law he had the mini implants and he recommended Larry Stroud . I made the appointment and my decision. Four months later and I can smile again. The mini implant holds the dentures in securely. Very pleased with Larry H Stroud DDS DMD - AND STAFF. Vicky Robertin

Larry Stroud Smile Valley Dental Gave me a metal mouth

Went to have implants was told I needed caps told dentist wanted my teeth to look natural. Dentist gave me metal when I was supposed to receive porcelain. Implants gave me an abscess and they too were metal although they should have been porcelain. Complained to dentist only to be told that "ain't nobody gonna see". He charged my credit card before performing any the service so I didn't know I was going to have to pay interest in fees on a non interest bearing account. Oh I forgot to mention was a supposedly interest free credit account.

Wow. Thanks. I will look elsewhere.

Have done implants for many years. I don't know any implants made of anything but titanium, which is a metal.

Implants sometime fail for no good reason. Most dentists graft and redo them for free.

Metal crowns are much better on posterior implants, ESPECIALLY 2nd molars where porcelain fracture is so common.

Guest

Dr. Stroud knows what he is talking about and what he is doing.

He did an implant for me and for 6 yrs ago and that implant has held up and done the job! Along with 3 fillings he did for me 6 yrs ago that have also stayed in place and I have not had any problems with them. Although I do take care of my teeth and floss regularly. I eat a lot of candy.

Anyway, I recommend Dr. Stroud to all my friends and most my family sees him as well.

KEEP ON DR. STROUD!

Guest

Dr Stroud did an excellent job on my implants (2) and crown. I would recommend him to any friend or family member. He did the job for $5,500 where I was going to have it done in Indianapolis for $8,500.

Next time I will post the pictures of the shoddy work by Dr. Stroud and of the corrective work I now have. If someone wants to settle for garbage that is their prerrogative but I didn't.

Do you know a good lawyer he charged my buddy a Vietnam Vet 20.000 and three times he has drilled and drilled and it does not work he ask him to cement them and said he would but he would have to charge him. Crazy pain my friend has gone thru today he saw a new Dr and it is gonna cost him another 20,000 also he said he has fixed Dr Strout shoddy work and could not believe how his implants looked

Larry Stroud put 6 ,what I thought to be Titanium, yet looked more like cheep metal pegs on the top and 5 in bottom in March 2016. When I received my pegs and teeth I was told to keep them in for a week and not take them out.

I keep them in 5 days and has to remove them because he had trapped the tissue under my tongue under the denture!! I had an abscess the complete U shape from one side of the back of my tongue to the other. In less than a month the bottom plate broke. I lost an upper right front peg at home about 2 months later and he had to remove one next to it a month later because it was loose.

I saw him,another dentist and my PCP for infections on the top. Every time I thought it was gone it would come back worse until puss started oozing out of my upper gums. Long story short about 8 months later I woke up to a swollen face and puffed up eyes. Needless to say I saw an oral surgeon who treated me for severe infection that had started eating away at my bone.

I scheduled to have all the top pegs removed. The very next day one of those metal pegs on top broke into on my rt side. I was down to 3 on the left. 3500$ later including bone grafts I’m left with a gum that is so disfigured I can barely keep non-mini implant dentures in.

Oh and I had to have someone else make teeth because he made 2 sets that I wouldn’t make my worst enemy wear. And because he put the bottom pegs in so crooked, I go through O-rings in a month &1/2. They should last 6-8 months.

Very dis-satisfied customer to say the least.

He should be put out of business.

He preys on the older generations because they don’t know any better. As was me.

Guest

I bet the person who resonded to my post works for Dr. Stroud.

I was able to get the garbage he put in my mouth removed by other dentist and have now gotten on the right track of getting what I asked for. No more metal forced on me like Larry Stroud did.

No doubt It was an employee

Guest

:(

Follow up on response from Satisfied. Dr.

Stroud gave me metal when I specifically asked for natural looking teeth. I was supposed to get porcelain. I'm glad you had a great experience but I did not and I will gladly show you the pictures if you're interested in the hidious work I received. I can even show you the xrays with the abcess underneath.

I think my next post will include the pictures.

Since Dr. Stroud stands behind his work I'm sure he wouldn't mind everyone taking a look.
