I called around to find the cheapest dentist to do it. I was so excited when I found a dentist who was several thousand dollars cheaper. I got the procedure done. Then the new tooth just fell completely out. I went back and he&#8217;s saying it&#8217;s my fault. I went to a different dentist and he told me that first one botched the job. Now I have to spend a lot more money to get it fixed and need and additional procedure. I&#8217;m devastated. It&#8217;s going to cost me double than if I had just gone to a different dentist to begin with. \u00a0Can I get my money back?<\/p>\n<p>Stella B. &#8211; Denver, CO<\/p>\n<p>Stella,<\/p>\n<p>What a horrible experience. I think you&#8217;ve learned there is a very big difference between an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-affordable-dentist\/\">affordable dentist<\/a> and a cheap dentist. This cheap dentist has cost you a small fortune.<\/p>\n<p>As far as getting a refund, there is no guarantee. It helps that you have a second dentist saying that the procedure was botched. Your first dentist will likely care about his professional opinion. You could get at least a partial refund just by that reason alone.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that it fell out works in your favor too, because it didn&#8217;t meet the minimum standard of care, which is it needs to be functional.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\">Dr. Ryan Noah<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I needed to replace my tooth.
