The naive part of me wonders if this will improve services. I have good health and dental insurance and while my health insurance becomes really beneficial once I've hit a threshold and met my deductibles, there is a hard upper limit on how will be paid for dental work annually, to the point I've had to spread (non-emergency) care over multiple years to cover the costs.

Ah yes! I had to repair a broken tooth when I was in the US, which was covered by our insurance. The dentist took 19(!) x-ray plates of my teeth, which she then charged the insurance company for.
