Should the Dr's office bill the patient for the Provider Discount that the insurance company gets?
If the dentist is part of the insurance company's network, he or she is contracted NOT to balance bill the patient for the discount negotiated as part of the contract. The dentist can charge for the difference between the discounted rate and what the insurer pays. For example, if the usual charge for the procedure is $100 but the discounted amount is $60 and the insurer pays half; then the dentist can charge you $30. But the dentist should NOT be charging you the $30 PLUS the $40 discounted amount. If this happens you should contact your insurance company as the dentist may be in violation of his or her contract.
Do your Teeth hurt a week after bridge prep?

What is the best way to remove excess bonding agent used for veneers?
It is best to seek the help of the dentist who placed the veneers. You run the risk of breaking or damaging the veneer if you try to do it yourself. Your dentist should not charge you for this service, and if he happens to break the veneer, he should replace it at no charge.
If your dentist took an impression of your teeth before putting in a crown but you did not have the whole procedure done is it legal for your dentist to charge you for a crown and all it entails?
Did you sign an agreement for the procedure? In my experience the impressions are made after the dentist has already built the core and installed a temporary crown. They usually order the permanent crown at that time, which they pay for. So the charge is justified. If this is not the case they should only be allowed to charge for the actual work done (office visit and taking the impression).
