Aspen Dental

November of 2014 I visited Aspen Dental in Port Orange, Fl with the intent of having a "root canal" which was suggested by the dentist on a previous visit. At that time the dentist told me the tooth was "too bad" and a root canal could not be performed. I was told the alternative was to extract the tooth, or have a bridge placed in that area. I told the dentist I was unable to pay for a bridge and to extract the tooth. (I had already been approved by Dental First in the amount of $1059 for the procedure of the root canal.) The dentist insisted on the bridge and not extracting the tooth and would do the work for less than the $1059 and that I could pay monthly for 18 months to Dental First. Thus I agreed. When the work was complete, I was told the cost was $1004. I was relieved that I could save some money and agreed to the Dental First plan in the amount of $1004, However Aspen charged Dental First the estimated amount of $1059. I am not happy and refuse to pay for work that was not performed. I have argued and tried to get a resolution in this matter for months and Aspen insists that I had the extraction and the cost for everything is $1059. I have the paper work for proof, but they will not see things properly the way things should have been billed. What can I do? The difference is $56. To Aspen that is not a large amount, but to me, on Social Security where I watch every penny, it is a substantial amount. Please reply and help me straighten this matter out to my satisfaction. "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"...Is this not true. Must I go further in my complaint? Please advise..Thank you for your time. I would truly appreciate some resolution.
