My dentist chose the wrong shade of composite on my chipped tooth. Should I seek a new dentist? (Photo)

Asked By:BSchneider1988 in Toledo, OH

About six months ago I chipped my front left tooth falling on some ice. I put off getting it fixed as it wasn't too noticeable. I recently had a dentist fix it. He used a composite resin bonding and it looked good until I wasn't under the bright lights in the office. The shade the dentist chose does not match. If I schedule for him to look and fix it, would I have to pay another $300 some dollars?
