My tooth just chipped AGAIN...

So Monday morning at 8:30 I will call my dentist's office and make another appt. for my chip to be capped. The last time I had this done (in January) the bill was $189.

My husband just shrugged and said "Old teeth."

It is SO attractive going around snaggle-toothed...

Id call the dentist and say it should be under warranty! Only 2 months, should last longer 🙂 MLAA Mar 2018 #6

good idea...except that I don't know if dental caps have a warranty. But I'll ask... CTyankee Mar 2018 #9

I would definitely speak up to the dentist. His work should last more than a couple months MLAA Mar 2018 #11

The dentist office just gave him an estimate of $14,500.

Mentioned they have a credit source if needed and he qualified.

Their office was on Whalley Avenue but then they moved to Bradley Road in Woodbridge which is actually pretty near me (I live in Westville).

I would remind him when you see him that he did the repair just two months ago. He may be so busy that he doesn’t even remember doing it originally two short months ago 😉
