Yeah, bad dentists, doing some cursory research on the internet tells me that my previous dentist put in metal fillings which are worse on the teeth generally, especially weaker teeth which is why both of the metal fillings failed within three years and both have been replaced by current dentist, one to this crown :|
that previous dentist also made cleanings painful enough that I nearly cried. Which is why when things got busy at work, I just said I'd call back to reschedule and then....never did. And it took me over a year to get this new dentist after I moved here.
So all-in-all, current dentist is much better but all around I'm having zero fun.
But yeah, I'm actually having a weird thing happen with the insurance, where the practice is billing the insurance and the insurance says they're only paying part of it (because things are horrible~~~) but the practice says I don't actually owe them any money because the insurance is covering everything. So I've payed no money for any of the procedures and I don't intend to alert anyone to this fact (I have a chunk of money in a health savings account from my previous job so it's fine if it does happen all at once). It's just, I have no idea on anything and it is all confusing.
That is good that it is standard pricing! At least you know what it will cost you up front.
