Are be entitled to a refund for dental work that needn’t have been done?
About 22 months ago dental work was started for my husband. Pins were to be placed to hold a lower denture plate in place.; 4 pins were place at a price of $5500. The dentist office sold and the new dentist changed the work that had been started, including reducing the number of pins to 2. We paid per pin with a 100% guarantee. Should we be able to get reimbursement for the 2 pins eliminated? Did the new dentist assume this liability with the purchase or would this go back on the original dentist?

I suggest that you carefully read your contract or other documentation concerning the dental work that your husband agreed to in that its terms and conditions control the obligations that he is responsible for. As to whether the new dentist is responsible for the guarantee depends upon what the buy out contract states.
I suggest that you consult with the new dentist first about the matter that you are writing about for clarification.
