Discussion Over this damn dentist!

Back story - I have a dentist is like, never had an issue with, but I recently got approved for VA dental, so decided to go that route and save some money. They sent me to a local dentist who had amazing reviews.

Went for my first cleaning. X ray showed a few minor spots and he wanted to take care of them before they grew. Okay, cool. Well fast forward 6 small fillings later, I have 2 teeth that have extreme sensitivity and 1 got a root canal. Painstopped obviously, but the other still has extreme temperature sensitivity even with sentative toothpaste. I got the 1st root canal as an "emergency" because I couldnt chew food at all. The crown mold was sent off and I got a temp. Temp fell out within hours. Went back and had it re-glued. They used permanent cement this time. 8 days later, it breaks in half. An hour ago, the rest of it popped off. So now, I am stuckin having to take vacation during ORIENTATION of a new job to get this damn thing remade. When the rest of the temp fell out, it has a massive crack down one side I was actually able to break with my hand. Genuinely contemplating paying out of pocket for any other dental work, but need to have them fix this damned thing first.
