Abstract

This case retells the interactions between a private practice general dentist and his very esthetically driven patient. The patient, Mark, is an up and coming skateboard competitor. Mark comes to his general dentist, Dr. Scott seeking treatment. A treatment plan and financial arrangements were agreed upon after a full work up was completed.

After weeks of treatment planning and discussions, Mark was finally satisfied and ready for treatment. The treatment plan was agreed upon and signed. Mark paid the usual half up front on the start day of treatment. This day Mark left with amazingly “Rad” temporaries. Mark was a no-show for his next scheduled appointment for impressions. When he did return, Mark presented with emergency trauma to his front four teeth. At this point to restore these teeth will require much more work on Dr. Scott’s part, but Mark does not want to pay any more for treatment. Now Dr. Scott must decide what to do.
