I just had a crown installed, and my out of pocket was $485, as expected. I then received another bill where they charged me another $70 out of pocket a week later for an "occlusal adjustment".

In other words, the $485 didn't include INSTALLATION.

I need to have a talk with them.

Perhaps it's the other way around. $485 is the installation,
but the $70 "adjustment" is the fine-tuning to make the surface
match your biting surface requirement.

Still it seems a bit untoward of them to add that extra figure
a WEEK later!

Yeah, but it's not like you could install it yourself -- although the temporary filling came out and I had to reseat it myself.

you probably could install it yourself. dentistry is a joke.
if you have the right stuff you can do it yourself. my grandfather was a dentist in the military and in civ life until he decided to work at a machine shop and make aircraft parts for more money.
