I am switching dentists because our dentist for the last 20+ years does not take the "extra" discounted Medicare plan that I have. I found a participating dentist (individual practice) in the same building where I work part time. I have been "lax" is taking care of my dental situation in recent years, so I now need a lot of work - probably several crowns, several fillings, etc.
Even with the higher discount plan I have, I do expect to pay quite a bit to get my dental situation back in good shape.
Any tips or things to watch for in keeping the costs within reason - without sacrificing needed work? I do plan to get an itemized bill every time I pay and try to verify that I am paying the correct amount for each procedure code that he does.
