Hi Lethal Lee, I have dealt with Eric Davis across email, I eventually moved on. I asked him about three times very politely if he could please tell me what the names are of the dental materials he already has there in his office. He continued to avoid answering this and kept saying "i'll test you when I see you" and I said "I am from new zealand, I am trying to get as many answers as I can from here before I make a trip. I have already had serum testing done, could you just tell me which ones you already have so I can check them on my form, and you can test me as well if/when I get there". Still avoided telling me. And finally I got no response to the last email. I was not overly impressed and lost confidence after that and as well as realsing I would most likely have to go through a lot of finance because they have a health advisor etc that you're to do phone consults with if you can't see them in person (think of the ongoing costs). To prepare you for it all. For me, there is NO way I could afford that. I needed to find a dentist that would be flexible to a point to my needs, particualrly if I was coming from overseas. I think it's good that more are taking onboard the health needs of patients and getting them on protocols, but NOT when you see you'll end up being stripped of your savings for that alone, rather than the actual dental work. There are ways a dentist can help a patient via email and phone without ongoing charges. Doesn't hurt to give some answers that way before a consult. One dentist I found in Sydney I was impressed with. He answered my emails when he could and answered my questions and even sent me a sample of the materials he uses. He said he uses cerec and heliomolar as his main materials because in his experience his patients are least reactive to them overall. However, I am sure he would be open to using a material that suits you. Here is his website. He also is very aware of the health side of it and diet etc, though he was sensitive to the fact that I was overseas. http://www.shdc.com.au/
