Dentist Broke His Patients' Teeth To Make Millions Installing Crowns, Jury Finds
A dentist in Wisconsin has been found guilty of deliberately breaking his patients' teeth with a drill so he could collect millions of dollars to repair the damage with dental crowns. ArsTechnica reports: The alleged scheme by licensed Grafton dentist Scott Charmoli, 61, appears to have begun in 2015, when the number of crowns he installed abruptly increased. In 2015, Charmoli installed 1,036 crowns, well over the 434 crowns he did in 2014. Amid the royal boom, his income increased by more than a million dollars, going from $1.4 million in 2014 to $2.5 million in 2015, according to court documents. From 2016 to 2019, Charmoli billed insurers and patients over $4.2 million for crown procedures, according to federal prosecutors. Charmoli ranked at or above the 95th percentile for the number of crowns installed by dentists in the state in each of those years, the report added.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
