I think this is probably right. It used to be that your payment covered treatment done during a six month period. That first payment was the maximum amount before April 1st. The second one is the new charge rate for the treatment you have now. You should also be prepared for the biggie again when you need new dentures unless the dentist will agree to Reline them first. This is when they take impressions and send off to the lab where they literally reline the plate making it a better fit. However, that means being without your teeth for a few days! If you can afford it, get the new ones and get the old ones relined as a spare.
