My wife recently started going to my dentist.    In general, she has perfect
teeth, but an old filling in a molar was bugging her - slightly.

The dentist recommended replacing the filling with an inlay, which he did at
a cost of ~$400.  

Within a day, it was obvious that the inlay was too "high", and my wife went
back two more times for adjustment.   The first return visit, the opposing
tooth was ground down to make room, and the next visit, the inlay was ground
ground down.  

After each visit, her tooth has hurt more.    Now, a month later, it's 
excruciating, and the dentist says that she may need a root canal. 

1)  Is it normal for a filling replacement to escalate like this?

2)  Should she be expected to bear all of the costs?
