Dental mishap... please give advice?

So my husband has seen this dentist a few times and we immediately did not really like them but they were the only people that took his insurance in our city. So, he has a broken tooth in his mouth and he paid $900 for a crown, his left front tooth. The dentist sized it up and it looked fine but when the dental assistant set it it was set crooked and he is not happy. The dentist told him he would replace it for $300 lab fees for new tooth or if he "broke it" he could get the tooth for free. Well, this made him mad all together that he suggested breaking the tooth. He got a 2nd opinion and the dentist told him that it was illegal for a denal asst to set a crown and they should pay for it bc he wouldnt need a new tooth if it wasnt set crooked. I feel like we should go somewhere else and still send them the bill. I dont trust them in his mouth. What should we do?

Yes, it is illegal for a dental assistant to cement a crown permanently. This guy needs to be reported to your state dental board. They will investigate, fine and possibly suspend his license. Dont' change the crown until you hear from the board.

Reply:Being in the dental profession and being a registered dental assistant, I have always been told that an assistant could not set a permanent appliance, crown etc. This is how it is in our state anyway from my understanding. You say you have dental insurance and the crown still cost $900.00 that is by far more than charged in my area also. I have several crowns and my DDS has always placed them, not the assistant. I would certainly check my options.
