My unpleasent experience with Dr. Schilderoth Centro Dental

My Experience with Centro Dental Dr. Schilderoth, because he removes all unpleasant experiences from Google so that you don’t see them…

How Dr. Schilderoth’s Treatment Led to Ongoing Dental Problems

From Dr. Gert Schilderoth, I received a very poor dental treatment, and I still feel the consequences of his work today. It all started when he apparently ground down too much of my teeth 26, 35, and 36, which then became inflamed. These teeth had been demonstrably healthy before the grinding. Immediately afterward, they were extremely sensitive, and soon I noticed discomfort when biting down. He then opened the tooth 35 and performed a root canal right away, without giving it any chance to recover.

Dental Bridge Failed After Just Two Months

After completing the root canal on tooth 35, he cemented the finished dental bridge onto teeth 35, 36, and 26. Only about two months later, on Christmas Day, the bridge came loose from tooth 36 and was left hanging on tooth 35. The loose bridge rubbed against the surface of tooth 36, which still felt just as sensitive as it had eight weeks earlier after the grinding—clear evidence that too much enamel had been removed. When I confronted him about this sensitivity, he said it would fade in a few days, which was not true. Such a cemented bridge should last around ten years, but his work lasted only about two months.

Repeated Teeth Grinding from Dr. Schilderoth and New Inflammations

Things got worse. Because the bridge came loose, he removed it and ground down teeth 35 and 36 a second time before immediately reattaching the bridge with new cement, again without waiting to see how my teeth reacted. I still don’t understand why he ground them again, especially after admitting that he had already been very close to the nerve the first time. Soon after, tooth 36 became inflamed—likely because the second grinding had been too much. Around the same time, I also began feeling a sharp sensation in tooth 26, which had also been ground down despite being healthy before.

Drilling Through the new Dental Bridge

Because Dr. Schilderoth reattached the bridge too soon, he later had to drill through the newly cemented bridge to check for inflammation. First, he drilled through the porcelain crown of tooth 35 that I had saved up for, only to seal it again afterward. However, the pain persisted, meaning the problem was actually in tooth 36, which he then also drilled open. As with tooth 35, he said it was good he had done so because he could now “see” the inflammation. Since none of these inflammations were visible on X-rays, they must have been fresh and likely caused by his over-grinding.

Questionable Explanations from Dr. Gert Schilderoth

He tried to justify it by claiming the inflammations had already existed but were only “triggered” by the treatment—an unlikely claim, given that all three affected teeth were healthy and documented as such by a previous dentist just months earlier. Later, I spoke with two former patients who had similar experiences of over-grinding, which proved that my case was not an isolated one.

Cracking of my poorly sealed tooth by Dr. Schilderoth and Further Damage

Because of the resulting inflammations, all three affected teeth (26, 35, and 36) required root canal treatment. I hoped the nightmare was over, but soon the seal on tooth 35 cracked open just days after he had done it. I showed it to him, but he said it wasn’t a problem and sent me home. Days later, the tooth started hurting badly whenever liquid touched the crack.

A new dentist examined everything and exclaimed in shock, “Heidewitzka, someone really went wild here!” meaning the teeth were in terrible shape. He also noted that the dental prosthesis was poorly fitted and could cause future problems.

Refusal to provide the patient records for over three months by Dr. Schilderoth

This new dentist asked for my patient records, which I repeatedly requested from Dr. Schilderoth. He ignored me for over three months, delaying my treatment. In the end, he only reacted after I contacted the Spanish Dental Association and shared my story publicly. He then demanded that I remove my post before he would release my records. When I finally received them, they were incomplete, missing crucial documentation and X-rays. Even the treatment notes he later provided lacked important details.

His invoices also contain no clear or traceable information about the treatments performed. Take a look at what his invoice looks like and how an invoice is supposed to look:

Terrible treatment errors were apparently not an accident, but the result of a lack of skill

Dr. Schilderoth not only obstructed further treatment but also the investigation into what went wrong. Teeth 26 and 35 still feel awful today; only tooth 36 seems to have survived this ordeal. I can’t believe this was just bad luck—too many things went wrong during and right after his treatment.

Later, I found other former patients who also said he had over-ground their teeth, but these reports were repeatedly removed. Around that time, several new positive Google reviews suddenly appeared from accounts that seemed to have been created solely to praise him, including one from a “Marita Klein,” an artist whose paintings hang in his clinic and who appears to be a friend of Gert and Conny Schilderoth. Whether her review is truly independent is for others to decide.

My personal tip

As far as I know, there is another dentist right next to Schilderoth’s office in Alfaz if you are looking for one.

All the best.
