A dentist is someone you should build a relationship with. I’ve been with mine for 30 years. He’s come in on weekends for me. He never tries to “sell” me because he knows the value of a lifetime client.
Going to a “factory” will get you factory results.
You are precisely correct. That has been my experience.
It’s not just chains.
And it’s not just dentists.
I’m seeing sleazy stuff from practioners I’ve known for years.

My dentist is in business with his twin brother. They run what appears to be a very successful practice. After 9/11 they both joined the Naval Reserve Medical Corps purely out of patriotism and are now Captains. He was going to perform dental screenings for a bunch of reservists who were being deployed. He didn’t think the facilities provided were up to the level of what the reservists deserved so he brought them all to his private practice for their screenings. I trust whatever he tells me.
