I went to a dentist who did very poor work on a partial replacement , and the bilked my insurance for thousands. When I complained about how poor the partial appeared (tooth sticking out on my front teeth!) they acted like it was my imagination. This cost my insurance several thousands. At the time I had dental insurance. I no longer have the insurance, as I'm retired. I went to another honest dentist, whom I knew previously, and he did cosmetic work to fix the appearance of my sticking out front tooth. No longer having the dental insurance, I now pay per visit.
