Dentist charging 200% of estimate legal?

My dentist gave me an estimate to

repair my teeth for $1956, then

charged me over 200% more without

ever discussing it and without my

knowledge as these so-called charges

were incurred. Is this legal???

Did the dentist put the estimate in writing? If so, have the written estimate reviewed. If not, then it will be your word against the dentist's (and probably his/her staff). Consult with a local attorney.

The key word is "estimate." Your provide no facts to indicate the dentist was bound to that estimate.
