Today I saw a new dentist and I need a bunch of things done. I wouldn't care about any of them except that I have to have that crown and the filling no-gloves dentist put in re-done because they weren't done correctly and as they are I'm at risk for infection and a root canal. I've had some discomfort in there off and on but I thought it was just my tooth-grinding.
I want to fight the dentist who screwed up for my money back since I have to pay the full price for the one I'm getting in 2 weeks as my insurance only re-does crowns every 5 years, not every 6 months, but am not sure who to complain to. Hopefully I can figure it out and win.
At least I like the new dentist and the office. I just wish I wasn't going to be paying so much quite so soon.
Oh well.

Oh no!
I've had a lot of dental work done this year and would be very upset if I were in your shoes!
You can complain to the licensing board, but that won't get your money back (I don't think so anyway).
Depending upon how much you'd like for a refund, you could take him to small claims court. Chances are good he will pay up when he sees he is going to go before a small claims judge.
If he is a member of the Better Business Bureau, you can complain to them and they will try to negotiate a remedy acceptable to you.
I hope it's not too frustrating to get your money refunded.
There may be other avenues for you to pursue in order to pursue a refund.
Best wishes with this!
