Patients who refuse to pay for services

I have a  legal question.  I am a dentist in town.  A patient comes in for treatment.  We review their insurance and go over their copayments.  The patient leaves no money and then is sent 3 bills and an e-mail requesting money.  Can I file a complaint with the Millburn police?  Is there something called "Theft of services"?  It is almost like shoplifting.
