Can i be denied a dental procedure that have be repeated more than twice beside insurance?
i have had 2 composite filling placed over the same chipped tooth with a week of eachother. when the tooth chipped, i be having breakfast. when the first composite filling broke, i be eating dinner. when the second composite filling broke, i be stressing about something and my nerves went into overdrive and i accidently chomped/gritted down on it. it have broken twice in a week. i have insurance but afraid the dentist wont want to repeat the work a third time or that the insurance may not money it and may not allow it to be done. can i be denied this procedure being done for a third time? what can i do? it broke saturday, today and i plan to go wager on this morning before work. please help and narrate me what my options are.thanks

Just go in to the dentist and ask. Though my thoughts are... why would they deny the procedure? It broke. It's not really your responsibility, for all you know the dentist did something wrong.
First off the dentist shouldn't charge you to grasp it replaced if it was just done....near obviously has to be a bigger origin for this to keep happening. Make an appointment and ask him what your "other" option are to have the tooth restored so that the restoration does not keep breaking. Hope that help.
Your dentist should be liable to fix your tooth so it stays fixed for a reasonable period and for no further fee (a week is not a reasonable period). Composite filling are technique-sensitive and there are lots of things that can go wrong. Talk to your dentist and see what he say. If he's not willing to work with you and put together it right, call your state's dental association.
Composite fillings are not that strong. Most insurances will not settle to have the same tooth fixed if it have been less than two years, so you will own to pay for it yourself if you want it fixed.
If you have broken it 3 times within less than 2 weeks, you have a problem. Twice while you be eating and once because you gritted your teeth. The tooth is obviously not going to hold a padding - you are either going to have to live beside a chipped tooth or pay for a crown. I really don't see another option here, as I do not reckon it is faulty dentistry.
Teeth at the front of the mouth just do not do in good health when biting down with composite fillings on the incisal surface. I enjoy one myself that has this problem. Insurance paid the first time, I spent $235 out of pocket the second time, and when I chipped it again 3 weeks then I learned to live with it.
