Is the new dentist gouging me?
My dentist of 15 years retired recently and sold his practice to a young, ambitious dentist. I’m a big time teeth grinder but my old dentist would simply adjust my night guard and call it a day. This new dentist says she has to replace four fillings as I’ve worn them down pretty badly plus I’ll need a new crown on a back tooth. Total work is about $1000 out of pocket. I’m going to have the fillings replaced but hold off on the crown.
I don’t know if I trust this new dentist. Is it possible to get a second opinion from another, non-affiliated dentist? How does that work and will insurance pay for the second opinion or all out of pocket?
