General dentistry treats all phases of dental needs for patients.\n\nOral surgery specializes to surgical phases of dentistry only, such as extractions or treating broken jaws.\n\nNeither one has anything to do with the cost of care. The cost of providing care is determined by the cost of doing business in your area. Have your "sister" seek out a dental school for hugely discounted treatment. However, she will receive treatment by dental students rather than experienced dentists.

Duty of care is the legal obligation of a health care professional (doctor, nurse, etc.) to treat a patient.  A nurse is expected to provide care for all patients in their facility within the guidelines of their scope of practice as set forth by their state board of nursing.  That means, for example, that a nurse can not refuse to care for a patient just because that patient has an infectious disease, or because the nurse doesn't agree with their religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or whatever. It also means that a nurse can not exceed their scope of practice (such as by performing procedures that only a doctor can legally perform).

Insurance companies make their own rules on what they will and will not cover.  SOme place them under medical, others under dental.  You should investigate the plans to see which part of the policy should cover it.\n\nParticial bony means that part of the tooth was located under the bone, and they had to cut it away.  SOft tissue means the tooth was under the gum and an incision had to be made to get to the tooth.  Every tooth, including wisdom teeth, will have it's own set of circumstances.  The code is based on what conditions exhist in the mouth, and how difficult it is to extract it.  The dentist may think it is only under the gum, then get inside to find bone on top of the tooth, and have to change the procudeure in the middle.  Try getting a copy of the claim form and the phone number to the insurance company.  Call them and ask why they are not covering it.  The insurance companies are much nicer to the patient than they are to the dental office.  Remember the insurance companies do not WANT to pay, so it is often a struggle to make them pay.
