We seeing Dr Runco for years and every piece of dental work he’s placed in my mouth has fallen out or had to be physically removed. So I’m missing 5 teeth and can’t afford implants or a partial!

This dentist, if you can call him that, has very bad practices, I just had the worst experience in his office and after reading the other reviews I realize that he has a modus operandi, he creates non-existen problems to his patients and that's when the real problem starts, I went for a cleaning and ended up drilling three teeth because according to him the food got between my teeth, he only put filling on one tooth and sent me home with the wholes on the other two, the filling he gave me fell out the next day and when I returned to his office without being able to cope with the pain he told me that I needed a root canal and that I had to see an endodontist, To this day I am still looking for a competent dentist who receives new patients to fix the painful problem that this incopetent and dishonest doctor has caused me. This man should not be at the service of any patient, he is incompetent an dehumanizes his patients

I had some tooth pain and hadn't been to the dentist since 2019. Went to Dr. Runco who asked which tooth hurt. I told him which one, he took an X-ray and found a small cavity on the outside of the tooth. Without telling me anything he gave me 3 injections. Without a word he drilled the tooth and filled it with a silver filling. He then said it would hurt for a couple days. I kept finding pieces of filling in my mouth. The pain kept up until the entire filling fell out a week later. After another X-ray he said I need to have a root canal and tried to send me on my way. I had to remind him that I don't have a filling in the hole he drilled a week ago, so he put in a temporary filling and told me to return later for a cleaning. I went to a good endodontist who couldn't figure out why I was there as I don't need a root canal. Then I went to a competent dentist to get the temporary filling fixed. He found a very large cavity IN THE SAME TOOTH that Dr. Runco had completely missed.

Got a root canal at this dentist on one of my canines about 18 months ago. The crown broke off while eating this week. Another dentist who x-rayed it found that the crown was very weakly attached, which explained why it broke so easily. That second dentist also found a piece of a file that was left in my tooth from the root canal that I was never informed about. I now have to either get a second root canal to fix it or get an implant, which will mean a series of expensive procedures and wearing an invisalign retainer to fill the gap where the missing tooth is for 8-10 months, taking it out every time I eat. Don't go here for anything more than a cleaning.

The botched work Dr. Runco did has required thousands of dollars and a good bit of discomfort to repair. I only wish he would have admitted that he was in over his head when things started to go wrong, instead of making things worse in my mouth. And now he wont return my phone calls.
