A:
I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue. Begin by collecting all your payment receipts, invoices, and any correspondence with the original dentist. Having detailed records will strengthen your case.
Contact the new dentist's office in writing, clearly explaining the overpayment and providing copies of your documentation. Request a prompt resolution, whether it's a refund or applying the credit to future services. Make sure to keep copies of all your communications.
If you don't receive a satisfactory response, reach out to your state's dental board or a consumer protection agency to file a complaint. You might also consider consulting with a lawyer to explore legal options. Taking these steps can help you recover the $6,000 owed to you.
