two years ago I had to purchase a dental partial, I did at affordable dentures. 750.00$ I am a singel mom on disability so it was hard to save up that money. At a dental check up they said That my crowns were infected and had to be replaced. I had to beg and borrow money for these. They told me that if I did not replace my crowns I would not be able to wear my partial. Everything was good, I wore the temperaries with my partials for 3 weeks. Then they put the permanent ones on and cemented them before checking sizes. Now my partials do not fit. Not at all. They are metal, I went straight to affordable dentures and he even said he would modify them for free, cause I was so upset. But the size difference is to much, A whole new one would half to be made. The dentist is acting like this my fault. Telling me that I will half to get new ones, I can't afford this, To me this looks like that this is my dentist responsability. Please any advice, I do not know what to do next, I did not want to spend my summer having no bottom teeth.

I'd tell him that *he* should be making this right since he's the one you've paid good money to to fix this problem! I'd also say that if he didn't make things right, I was going to consult a lawyer. He can't do such shoddy work and expect you to just kep shelling out money! (It wouldn't hurt if you got a second opinion, too.)

He screwed up the job and he is responsible for fixing it. If you need a new plate it should come out of his pocket. Every state has a Consumer Protection Agency -- get hold of yours quick like a bunny! It's no joke when it's costing you hundreds of dollars for every mistake.

You might also tell that dentist if he doesn't make repairs you need you will report him to the Board that licences dentists.
