What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My 2 year old son had a consultation with a dentist (which cost $200 alone) upon which they decided he needed 1 crown and 1 filling. They gave me a written estimate of $420. They just completed the procedure without complications, never informed us of extra charges or procedures and charged us just under $800. They did not once tell us that it would be more or ask permission to do anything extra outside of the estimate. In the end, he has one crown and one filling. Is this legal?
