Case Description
I am in the final process of an implant. I have a dentist who is responsible for having the replacement tooth made a periodontist performed all of the other work. I thought I was paid in full. I received no estimate from the dentist. I found out today that the tooth will cost me 2000. Is their any rule or regulation that requires a written estimate? Even a contractor is required by law to give an estimate.Thanks

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
