I am running out of dental insurance soon, so I have found a dentist and have work started - a crown, and...?
some fillings. Well I have not have good luck with this dentist. We started near the crown because that takes time. Well I have be going back every week to get the filling done. I just feel close to the fillings are not being done right. There be three large fillings that he freshly had to re-do a second time a week later. I basically don't have a good emotion about him anymore (I really liked him at first). Can I stir somewhere else to have the crown put in or am I stuck here because it is already mortal made. I am supposed to go back within a few days for the prep. work - insterting the cast post, etc....and then some time contained by Sept. for the final appointment. Can this dentist office send it to another dentist or do I own to go to this Dr. because he started it?
Answers:
I would stay with the dentist until the procedure is done.
Don't do anything else next to him/her. Tell the dentist what you said here and see what happens.
If the dentist is bad, he wants the feedback.
And the same goes near a good dentist, give them feedback.

You must go back to that dr if he is already making the crown. Because explicitly a custom order which means that he cant trade that crown to anyone else. So just go rear legs to that dr or else he will charge you for the crown anyway.
Where I am from, when you are doing a crown for a patient on their insurance, the crown must be preauthorized or approved contained by advance by the insurance company. If this dentist has submitted a preauthorization and it have been approved and he has already done the crown preparation and sent the general idea to the lab, then there is a lab bill that must be salaried as well as the dentist's fee for the crown prep.
I suppose you could pay envelope all that and then ask to pocket the crown to another dentist for cementing.
However if you do this, and there is a problem, the dentist responsible could be questionable. For instance if the crown comes bad at a later date, was it the crown prep or the cementation that inferior? Hard to say and both would argue the point that they were not to blame.
Also, where on earth I come from, a dentist is given the first chance to fix a problem. That means if I did a crown prep and nearby was a problem with it, I should be given the accident to correct the problem or to refund your money and have you see someone else. If you chose to see someone else previously letting me decide what I want to do, then you effectively permit me off the hook.
It is somewhat muddy, but I hope this helps. I believe your best course is to tolerate the dentist do his job. If there is a problem, want a second opinion and then progress back to the dentist to see what he says going on for it.
pretty much stuck with doing the crown since he has already started it.
