I Got Charged For Two Aveoplasties But I Can’t Remember Anything Of The Sort. What Should I Do?
Q.
I recently had 7 teeth pulled in preparation for a lower denture. I received local anaesthesia only, I was wide awake, no gas either. I just got my bill and there was £600 on the bill for two aveoplasties. I think they made a billing mistake. Like I said I was wide awake and I contend there were no aveoplasties done. I even remember him saying after he pulled the last tooth, “Look at that, 7 teeth in 25 minutes, I think we just set a record”. Even though I was very numb wouldn’t I know and be able tell that a procedure like that or something other than a tooth being pulled was being done? Can an aveoplasty be done without sutures being required? Thank you very much in advance.

Hello and thank you for your enquiry. The best way to resolve this is to ask him what he did step-by-step throughout the procedure and find out whether it is a billing mistake or not. I have no way of knowing this. You may not know what occurred if you were very numb. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Dr Andrew Moore.
