Dentist charged me $1500 when insurance statements my cost would be $800

I went to see a dentist for a root canal, crown and two cavities.

They said my insurance only pays a set amount and charged me $1500 at the time of the visit. I went on a payment plan.

I got my insurance claim 2 weeks after, showed that the dental office accepted $1970 as total cost; insurance paid $1170 and I owe a total of $800..

Do I have a case for the remaining money? Im not sure if this is binding or not…but it seems like a large discrepancy?
